2014 New York Chickenstock

[Tab's chicken obsession]

Here's the youngest of my NN from last year. They haven't started laying yet.

That is really not bad for hatching eggs from certain breeds - and those eggs are nice and dark.

As to buying eggs over chicks I think it is a personal choice. I do not bring anything "live" home, my choice. There are far less transferable germs with hatching eggs than buying chicks. Agreed if you do the math it can work out to be less expensive with chicks than eggs. If I get the 50%+ hatch rate on shipped eggs I consider that a sucessful shipment and hatch.

I have been hatching for quite a while and in for a pint in for a pound...or some such saying.

Me too.

They look like frizzle or sizzle NN? (I don't know the difference btw a frizzle or sizzle) Very cute regardless

These are frizzle NN. The dark one should be OE too. I'll know for sure when she starts laying.

Want want want!!!! I've had losses from my NN's over the last two years and I really need to get more.

I think those naked neck chicks are cute, but in this weather they need someone to knit or crochet little neck warmers for them.

Actually my NN's do great in the winter!


I don't bring anything live home either, but I do get eggs from others. I know there's a disease risk there, but less so than with live animals.

Featherz--I can plan to have eggs for chickenstock. If you don't make it I'm sure someone would bring them home with them for you.
