Quote: Type comes first..if you are breeding for Wyandotte..
If you want BLRW than that is what you need to start with. Real ones..... not all the crosses I see. This is a new color for this breed and it needs so much improvement. All the breeding that is going on now is doing a disservice to all of the work that has been put into BLRW. If you don't have red and you want reds..don't use a gold. Look for a good red. You can't make red out of gold. It is money out the window.

You are right. Type is the most important thing. I was just trying to determine what I actually received. I know what I ordered, and it was from a supposedly very good source. It will be a while before it is determined how dark the "red" really is. Thanks for the help.
