. . . . . and you have got some nice ones. I have seen alot of these German strain NHs around lately. I wonder who will stick with them, and how much influence they will have on the breed in the long run. I like seeing the good looking New Hampshires. I spent alot of time trying to find good ones. I like seeing the interest in them. I would like to know if anyone is going to try working with them, and if so . . . What do they intend to work on? I would also like to see if there is any good "American" NHs out there. Thank You for sharing the pictures.
Breed club is a loose FB group.Is there a breed club for New Hampshires? Does anyone have contact information? Thanks
Know this is old post.Here's my NH chicks now at 6 weeks.
they have been such fun to watch develop thus far...absolutely love their temperament and fast growth/feathering...overall I believe there are going to be some keepers here...there are many unknowns but I will for sure be selecting females with open tails...with improvement toward the SOP in mind there's coloration to consider on the female hackles for black tipping...overall coloration of both sexes (hopefully lighter than most german line birds)...want plenty of type and making sure I watch for the cock's tail angle for correctness. both sexes should be meaty looking which it does not appear to be an issue with this cross thus far...I hope everyone enjoys the pics...i know it's too soon to tell much for sure...
P.S. please excuse the little production leghorn pullet ....she sneaked herself into my lens!!! I suspect she'll earn her keep despite not being bred to the SOP
