I LUV the way NN look. I only keep chickens as pets, and when I'm sitting on the patio watching my flock grazing, Peeps passing on the street with their children always stop and look. Some also ask questions. I'm also limited to the number I can keep. I would like a copy of each breed available. Hens only since of the restrictions here.If you can get over the appearance, NN's will perform better in our summer heat than many "regular" breeds.
