    Niederrheiner Thread! All Colors!

    Had an email from GFF that the Nieds we ordered won't be coming, that they were off to a slow start laying. The Biels too. The other 3 breeds are available, so we opted for a swap in breeds to keep the order coming. Hoping for Legbars and Barnvelders, waiting to hear. Otherwise our whole order...

    Niederrheiner Thread! All Colors!

    I'm hoping for 10 pound birds! It's one more month until my first batch from GF comes in. How long does it seem to take them to get to full size? I'll be interested in doing an egg swap, or buying hatching eggs before mine are laying. Only have 5 coming to get started since I have 4 other...

    For males everything I was seeing was stating 3.5-4kg. Just relaying what I saw! On the same page it had also mentioned a bantam variety separately. Still waiting on any further details that may be found. I couldn't dig up much.

She's also reaching out to a farmer friend of hers overseas to see if she knows anything about them or can help us out. So far what I have gathered... courtesy of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niederrheiner and...

    I am very interested in seeing this through! If this breed is our main focus, I can accommodate a flock of about 40 birds. My starter birds won't be coming until March, and then the grow out phase to see gender and type. I've shown dogs before, but not poultry. Willing to put some travel into...

    Niederrheiner Thread! All Colors!

    I have a small batch of these coming this Spring from GFF, and I too was wondering if there was a breed standard for them to use as a guide when picking for the breeding pen. We have 5 different breeds coming, I'm the most excited for the Niederrheiner and the Twentse. I do have a state side...
