This was my goal, to develop BBRed Rosecombs, and by golly it worked! I have been showing them since 1997, and every year they continue to improve in quality and uniformity.
It's a never-ending process... :-) I really need to put some new pics on here!
If you want to know how I made these, go to the Rosecomb Bantam Federation website (http://www.rosecomb.com/federation) and read the article that's in the "articles" section. If you are serious about raising BBRed (or any other "colored") Rosecombs, PLEASE consider starting a new strain. To really be a sustainable variety, we NEED more unrelated strains of BBReds out there.
RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION OF SHOW!!!!!!!!!!

BBRed cockerels, not fully feathered yet

Why is it that the best pose usually seems to have the worst lighting?? This is Rueben, a very nice 2001-hatch BBRed Rosecomb.
See what I mean? Not the world's greatest pose, but this shows his gorgeous color. That's Rueben again. I am trying to get longer sickles on the birds...going to take a while I think!
