That was going to be my question, with the orphington cross are they still loosly feathered and heat resistant like a true NN?

NN are my first choice for large fowl in this Texas heat. But I am wondering if this cross could handle 100 degree weather with high humidity like a normal very loose feathered NN can. Orphingtons don't do well here at all. That is a very important reason for keeping the NN breed in the heat of the south, along with its meat potential.

Very pretty.

Buttercup, Nava lives in Florida...and I have some as well....and they handle it here pretty good....Tey are a real good and durable chicken.

Don't know why, thinking sunshine state was California and there's no real humidity there.
I think my brooder house is filled out for this year unless I decide in August to add more. In a few days I'll be setting my own Sicilian Buttercup eggs, so the next 19 weeks are tied up. But I get NN every year, I still think they are like baby swans at hatch and just can't go without them.

Nava, I'll add you to my breeder list so I don't forget next year.

Chickenlittle32, thanks for the info and fast reply.
