RHODEBAR ROOSTER

Rhodebar is the result of crossing a Barred Rock hen with a Red Rooster (often a Rhode Island Red) which creates an auto sexing breed. Developed in the 1920s to breed true - so that all the rooster chicks are easily identifiable from the females.

This guy is a big, proud bird. and he’s thrown some lovely offspring all carrying the striped gene.

Here he is as a chick, so cute

Rhodebar Pullet Chicks 16 weeks old

These are chicks thrown by the Rhodebar Rooster. The back pullet is certainly the Rhodebar over an Easter Egger hen, the front pullet is possibly a cross between the Rhodebar and the hen in the lower photo.

RHODEBAR Chick

This is a Rhodebar - it's a cross between a Rhode Island Red Hen and a Barred Rock Rooster. The chicks are barred red and white instead of black and white. This one is pretty cleanly red and white striped, the other I have has mos more black and white striping mixed in.

I like the look. So far both have been friendly, like Barred Rocks.
