That cross would not be a Rhodebar .That is one of the issues we face with a lot of the Rhodebar out there. Green fire farms introduced Creme Legbar into them and introduces a lot of wrong genetics .
Hello, from my research Rhodebar were created from a welbar X RIR. Welbar genetics were a barred rock and a welsummer cross. The welbar was then crossed to a RIR. NOT production reds!! That is one reason why we use "standard" , " heritage" , "true" RIR to improve the RB. So the first true RB...
Hello, That is one of the problems with Rhodebar. Even improving them it is still hard to come out with consistent color patterns for them. Seems that one problem is shafting and wheaten based coloration. But they are getting better with each generation. One problem is people selling RB and do...
Hello, they will not be auto sexing . They will be an arrange of chicks. Wildstripe, some barely wild stripe,and yellow. Keep all well defined wildstripe chicks . Breed back to RB cock those will be an improvement and will be auto sexing at hatch. Keep the most dark red in color and continue to...
If we are selling a breed should we pay homage to the breed and breeders of the breed by helping to keep them the best they can be? All birds need work and are work. "My standards "are that of th APA and the SOP for the breeds of the birds!
my original male was dark mahogany red. You can see him a few post up . You can also see difference in body from original to the backcross cockeral in above post also.
They will be dark mahagony red barred. I have not yet raised had any double barred.(i have been backcrossing To RIR.)The male...
This is similar to what they should look like. Basically look at the SOP for RIR. Added auto sexing and barred! If you are propagating wrong genetic birds you are hindering the advancement of the breed. They have way to many faults and way to many people selling so called RB. I am being honest...
This was the cock bird I used to work with my RB improvement plan. He has the color, but lacks the right body structure. This should give you what color should be
And if you breed a green egg layer to a white egg layer you still get green eggs. I took an olive cock bird and put over some white leghorns got olive eggers that started laying a ton of eggs about 20 weeks
This Is Sheri's ( red ridge ) improvement Rhodebars . The male is single barred, the color should be similar to the red in him and the females. Very good looking improved RB!!The next generation will be double barred males. Color should still be nice mahagony red and have double bars. Hope this...
