There is something so beautiful about a "big orange chicken" against the green... This is a hen I got from Kathy B three years ago. She is still as lovely as ever. The cock and other hens are now at a neighbor's place. He has children in 4-H and the NHs are their responsibility. I got six...

Of the six pullets I kept from the batch Kathy sent me, one went broody at just over a year old and was a very good mother to her clutch. None of the others showed any signs of wanting to go broody.

Kathy, Did you send any of your NHs to anyone up my way?

Egg weights (of the three I had left, largest egg was used this morning) 2.2 oz 1.9 oz 1.7 oz

The size of the eggs was mentioned so I took a picture of mine. I have five German New Hampshires I got from Kathy, hatched April 2012. One went broody and is now raising a chick. I average three eggs a day from the other four. They are not uniform in size or color. They have been extremely...

Jeff, Would you be so kind as to post a picture of a carcass after your processing next week? You said it was a GSNH x GNH, so it is not exactly what I have, but, I did not have any extra GNH males to process last year and would like to see what one look like finished. Thanks. Mary

I got German New Hampshire chicks last spring and my hens are great layers. They were six months old when they started laying. I only had one cockerel and had a neighbor that wanted the extra pullets, so did not butcher any culls and therefore can't comment on the "plump table bird" aspect of...

Welcome to BYC Glory Bee. Would you please share the book title that included the German New Hampshires, please?

I just had to share this photo, taken today, of my "soon to be" cock (hatched first week of April '12). The sunlight on these German New Hampshires just makes them glow....

Walt and Kathy!

Thank you Walt. I will soon be reducing my 14 pullets down to six and I will keep that in mind. I get compliments on the beautiful color and size of the New Hampshires whenever anyone sees them. Here are a couple of pics.... The cockerel relaxing with a couple of pullets... What do...

Walt, Which fluff color is more correct...the pullet in the upper right or the one in the front? I don't plan on keeping the pullet in the front since others I have are wider but I wondered about the fluff color.

I went to the Illini Poultry Club Show in Belvidere, Illinois this past Saturday. It was listed on their website as a "New Hampshire ... State Meet" but not a single New Hampshire was there. I was quite disappointed in that I had hoped to see some to compare mine to. I am hoping to go to the...

Quote: mbmess2003 I have some pullets shipped to me from Kathy at five weeks old. These are my first and only New Hampshires so in no way is this meant to be taken as a definative answer....just what mine have shown. ....no way to tell at 5 weeks old.... Here are some at ten weeks...

Kathy!

Walt, My NHs from Kathy were hatched the first week of April and I have 14 pullets and 1 cockerel. Are you talking about individuals that are different shades or different shades on individual pullets? What I'm seeing is a lot of different shades on the same pullet. Will the color even out...
