  1. A dual purpose breed and can be reared both intensive and semi intensive by
    a well to do individuals. However, less to do individuals can do it in a
    free range method without fear of contracting diseases.

  2. They are in great condition, well done, it’s good to see some of the
    commercial sector with ethic’s. What is your ratio of roosters to hen’s? I
    have RIR also, just a hobby, I have 8 hen’s and a rooster.

  3. BullittMcQueen1, It takes a tremendous effort to produce a bird worthy of
    exhibition. These are just thrown together in an area and left for nature
    to take it’s course. All the genes are mixed around with everyone. In a
    breeding program, the point is to cull any birds with imperfections, thus
    eliminating that undesirable gene from the available pool. No hatchery
    chicken will ever do well in a show. The odds would be inexplicable. I did
    see in this video, many birds with some very good traits, but those same
    birds would be disqualified for having some of the bad traits too.

  4. How do your Rhode Island Reds compare to the APA standard of perfection?
    They look good in the video. Could someone enter one of your Rhode Island
    Reds in a poultry show?
