Ummmmmm.....

I sorta kinda just did a search for Nigerian Dwarf goat breeders in my area.

I'm reading the Terms and Conditions, including what sort of crate is needed to go pick them up to bring them home.

I think I have a problem....

With those temps, you REALLY should go get yourself some of those Naked Neck chicks. I think you'll like them - mine are just run of the mill hatchery ones (from Ideal) and lay really well. I bought some very very good German New Hampshire chicks from a breeder this spring. Supposed to be really big and fast growing. I just did the 8-9 week weights, and compared to my records for the Naked Neck chick rates. It was close, but Naked Necks grew bigger faster. I'm still keeping the GNH and hope to cross them in with the NNs (the GNHs are able to get good growth with the "disadvantage" of having to put protein into feathers, so maybe the cross will be even better, abetted by good selection). 

Go for it!!!! Nothing to lose, and they are AWESOME. Also super, super tasty and easier to process...

Edit to add: I can't speak for all hatchery NNs. But many are still running large, from what I hear from others... Pick the ones with the most naked of necks if you can (rather than the big muff). They will be NN genotype.

Last batch they had was only roosters. But many if not all had completely naked necks. I was going to buy a bunch in hopes of getting a hen but the chicks were getting wet from the nipple waters. Will see what if any they get tomorrow sometimes the order does not come.

I've been have trouble getting a nippler to function. I removed the interior pin and it seems to be fine....is this common or does it have something to do with buying the cheapest ones I could find?
