Thank you.

This is the first picture (of the only pullet that was left out of a batch of 6) I posted of my Naked Neck Easter Egger Project.


This is her now at 17 weeks old (taken today) yesterday 9-19-2014 she was 17 weeks old. Not the best shot of her but the only place I had that she would sit still.

Shot of her comb, it is a pea comb, up until today I thought it was going to be a single comb. So hopefully with the pea comb she'll lay the green-blue eggs for me.

Shot of the feathers on her back, was told that it wheaten but also carrying duckwing. I think it is a beautiful color.

Tail feathers.

Head shot.

I just love her face, and her coloring is very nice! I also like the feathering on her chest instead of the full baldness that many NN have.

Interesting girl, I like the coloring too. I love the line in your signature -

The Revolution starts in your own backyard! Grow it, make it, create it, buy it local!

Can I snag and use it too!

You'll have to ask TaraBellaBirds. That is her line.

Awe I'm flattered!

I don't mind if you use it, the more that join the 'revolution' the better!

I'll try to update this weekend. Got some new NNEE hatching now.

 

[draye]

Total hatch is 14 but I had to help one out. 9 have naked necks and 5 do not. I'll get pictures in a few days.

This last hatch: set 30 eggs. Only 16 were fertile. So the hatch was 14 out of 16 equal 87.5 percent hatch. The fertility rate was a tad bit over 53 percent. The naked neck rate is 64.3 percent.
