EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Fire Ant Farm]

Quote:

Quote: They actually lay really well, start early, big eggs. They do fine in the cold per several of our northern members on the NN thread. Mine tolerated sudden drop to the 20s even better than the rest of my chickens.

Quote:
The NNs will all be variations on reddish orange with black tails and big bowties (feathers in front of neck - because they are all heterozygous for the N gene). Here are the parents (father is homozygous for N gene, which is why he has a bare chest and smaller "bowtie". Mothers are German New Hampshires):






The others are a cross between blue and black copper marans hens and a lavender ameraucana rooster (now deceased). They should all be blue or black with beards and cheeks. One has lots of feathers on its legs evident already.

Don't worry Kristin, Liz and I will sit next to you and ooh and ahh over your babies even if the heathens among us won't.

Whites, not exactly for that brand, but it might help...

Interesting...I would have expected the opposite findings
