German New Hampshire

[DMRippy]

Also does anyone have the New Hampshire standard where it describes in details qualities of the bird. Such as what the color of beak, legs, what the comb should look like, length of back, width of bird etc available. If so please post.

A standard of perfection book is your best bet..... this is old but I think the basics are the same.

I am going to take photos of my birds this weekend. I wish other folks would do so too. Mine were born in Feb and some in March. I AGREE I wish folks would post PHOTOS of their birds.

Also does anyone have a photo of what a tail break looks like?
THANKS!

 

I have some Feb birds that I'll get some pics of and post them.

On average, when do the pullets start laying? Mine are 15 weeks old now.
Thanks.

I guess, we're about half way there.

These are so beautiful.

I am working on a project.... creating a new strain of Delawares. Of course, I started with New Hampshires and Barred Rocks. I hope to have my F3s (which should result in 100% Delawares) on the ground this summer. I can tell you this...... the F2s are looking good, and I do believe these are gonna be great dual purpose birds. The size I am seeing is just what I was hoping for. I think I like these better than the New Hampshires, for my freezer.

These are F2s, near point of lay.....

I'm still looking for hatching eggs. Have been offered some shipped chicks (I've declined for now), but still no hatching eggs.

I have the egg's just PM me with what you want and how much you are willing to pay and maybe I can help.

Kathy, I hope you're planning to sell some hatching eggs or chicks from the f3's next year.
