Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[DrumstickRanchTex]

I have some that lay blue eggs and many that lay green eggs. The blue egg layers have pea combs and were crossed with Easter Eggers. Most of my green egg layers have straight combs and their egg color vary from pale celery to rich olive to even a teal green. I'm not selling hatching eggs at this time because most of my birds are in heavy molt and I'm trying to cull down my flock before setting up breeding pens, but I should have some available in the coming months or next spring.

Have your NNs laid any pink, or lavender eggs? Just curious.

NN makes everything more heat tolerant. It's been

proven several

times in broiler studies(NN broilers gaining more weight than non NN broilers. the effect gets more dramatic the hotter it gets etc), personal experience etc.
