Hey those half an half Kansas x Missouri girls from Nebraska are doing good. Now that's what one could call versatile/ good for anywhere. Doing good here in the humid hot south too. I got to get pics, I got to get pics, I got, to get pics!

Nice Cindy as always and

Edited as I saw these pics were from Nebraska(Jeremys stock) and not AZ. Got any from the desert to post up here?

Your chicken yard must be an incredible sight, with all your beautiful breeds!

Those New Hampshires have substance. Nicely set on strong legs, set well apart. That is an improvement.

They will need some work on the finer details, but that is a foundation that can be built on. They have what a New Hampshire should. There is more to a bird than pretty feathers.

They do and are George. I liked my GNHs when I got them and still do but I'm really liking these ones alot. Like you said these are what NH are to be about. the pretty colors on the NHs is just an extra that came along with/from their development. IMO

May I ask how you keep your birds water from freezing in the winter? I bought the stuff for auto waterers but I am worried about it freezing and my birds not having any water.
