This is a bad picture, but I took it to show the color of these in the sunlight. Most of the people I know think that the German New Hamps are too brown and I have a couple that are, but overall the females match the color of the US birds. These came indirectly from kathyinmo and started laying at 4.5 months old. I could have shown them at 5 months of age and will show them at the end of the month at approx 6 mo. The females mature faster than any other large fowl I have raised and I have raised most. I will be showing two females at the end of the month. The males are slow maturing, so they will be shown later. This picture was taken yesterday.

If that one paralell to the fence shows that well in a cage as she is there she should do alright. Nice birds! Can't wait 'till spring when I'm gettin' me some.
