    Novogen browns

    I have 2, 7 week old novogen browns out of a pullet bin. They look so different. Does anyone know anything about this breed? All I know is they are a cross between RR and white leghorn...I think. Do I have a pullet and cockerel? The solid one has no tail feathers...🤔 They are such sweet chicks!
