    The South African Breed Standard for the Rhode Island

    SOUTHERN AFRICAN SHOW POULTRY ORGANISATION BREED STANDARDS RHODE ISLAND ORIGIN: American CLASSIFICATION: Heavy breed: Soft feather EGG COLOUR: Light brown to dark brown (Sitters) MASSES: LARGE FOWL: Cock: 4.0 kg Hen: 3.0 kg Cockerel: 3.6 kg Pullet: 2.5 kg BANTAMS: Male: 1.7 kg max Female: 1.5 kg max RHODE ISLAND RED The origin of this breed dates back to a fowl bred in that section of New England which is located between Narragansett Bay and Buzzard's Bay. The name Rhode Island Red was given to the breed in honour of the State where it originated from crossing the Red Malay Game, Leghorn and Asiatic native stock and first exhibited in 1880 in South Massachusetts. In 1904 the single comb variety was admitted to the American Standards as a distinct breed of poultry. 2013 Page 1 of 7 The Rose Comb Rhode Island Red was admitted to the American Standard in 1906, although some breeders acclaim it to be the original variety. The earlier Rhode Island Reds sported both the single and rose combs, some even having pea combs, due to their mixed ancestry and the fact of their being bred primarily for market purposes before they become a Standard breed. An important dual-purpose breed, capable of excellent egg production, but also popular at poultry exhibitions. RHODE ISLAND WHITE While the names and place of origin are the same, the Rhode Island White is actually a distinctly different breed from the Rhode Island Red. The Rhode Island White was developed in 1888 by Mr.

  • Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Limb Development

    Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Limb Development

    REVIEW published: 28 February 2017 doi: 10.3389/fcell.2017.00014 Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Limb Development Cheryll Tickle 1* and Matthew Towers 2* 1 Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath, Bath, UK, 2 Department of Biomedical Science, The Bateson Centre, University of Sheffield, Western Bank, Sheffield, UK The gene encoding the secreted protein Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in the polarizing region (or zone of polarizing activity), a small group of mesenchyme cells at the posterior margin of the vertebrate limb bud. Detailed analyses have revealed that Shh has the properties of the long sought after polarizing region morphogen that specifies positional values across the antero-posterior axis (e.g., thumb to little finger axis) of the limb. Shh has also been shown to control the width of the limb bud by stimulating mesenchyme cell proliferation and by regulating the antero-posterior length of the apical ectodermal ridge, the signaling region required for limb bud outgrowth and the laying down of structures along the proximo-distal axis (e.g., shoulder to digits axis) of the limb. It has been shown that Shh signaling can specify antero-posterior positional values in Edited by: limb buds in both a concentration- (paracrine) and time-dependent (autocrine) fashion. Andrea Erika Münsterberg, University of East Anglia, UK Currently there are several models for how Shh specifies positional values over time in the Reviewed by: limb buds of chick and mouse embryos and how this is integrated with growth. Extensive Megan Davey, work has elucidated downstream transcriptional targets of Shh signaling. Nevertheless, it University of Edinburgh, UK Robert Hill, remains unclear how antero-posterior positional values are encoded and then interpreted University of Edinburgh, UK to give the particular structure appropriate to that position, for example, the type of digit.

  • Top 10 Birds for Raising Backyard Chickens

    Top 10 Birds for Raising Backyard Chickens

    Top 10 Birds for Raising Backyard Chickens (According to Chickenreview.com) When you’re picking your first flock, there are a few key things to look for: 1. The breed should be a recognized breed, and should be easy to find in most hatcheries. 2. The breed should have a reputation for docility, friendliness, and general tameness. 3. The breed should be fairly low-maintenance without too many care issues. You should decide whether you’re raising chickens for table meat or just eggs. If you want eggs, choose a breed that excels at laying. If you want meat, make sure to pick birds that gain weight quickly. The great thing about chickens is there are a few breeds that meet these criteria, making them excellent birds for the average backyard flock. Some of these birds are good layers and some are good layers and meat birds also! We’ve put together a list of our ten favorite chicken breeds for Urban or backyard flocks. Each of the breeds on our list meets most of the items to look for we’ve mentioned, and are very good birds for a beginner. 1: Rhode Island Red: The Best Dual-Purpose Bird: Easy to care for and a good layer! They are a popular choice for backyard flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness. Although they can sometimes be stubborn, healthy hens can lay up to 5–6 eggs per week depending on their care and treatment. Rhode Island Red hens lay many more eggs than an average hen if provided plenty of quality feed 2: Buff Orpington: The Best Pet Chicken: The one caution on this breed is that their docile nature will often make them a target for bullying from other birds.
