Aw, I love those fluffy cheeks!

I have a NN roo, and some of the hatch are NN w/ beards, but no pics of them yet. (also from my Meyers ladies, and the "postman" lol lol lol)

Oh, goodness, I didn't know they could be bearded AND naked necked! My mom hates NNs, but I really want some! Looks like Meyer doesn't carry them anymore, though. :/

I will post some pics of the bearded NN's when they dry and get strong enough for the photo session.

They are so adorable! I love the Blue Cochin. I really hope I get a mystery bird in my order. My mom helped me order them, and neither of us can remember ever getting the option for a mystery bird. I guess we'll find out in 2 weeks!

The mystery bird is the Meyer Meal Maker. It is a free chicken that they give you (if you order it) all they ask is that you donate either the eggs or the bird. It is their way of helping you give back to your community/family in need. We give a lot of eggs away anyways so she will add to that. I absolutely LOVE the blue cochin, she is so pudgy lookin...

yayyyyy!!!!!!!

The Howards,they're adorable!

Makes me even more excited for my babies! Just 19 days to go!

Was that last chick on your order or an extra chick for warmth? What color are its wing tips? It could possibly be another 'Golden Buff', AKA red sexlink. I don't think any two of the red sexlinks I've raised looked alike as chicks. The color can vary quite a bit.

Isn't the wait horrible?! She is almost identical to the other golden buffs but she has dark coloring on her beak, plus the Buffs have little feathers already developing on their wings- she doesn't. What ever she turns out to be will be alright with me. I kinda figured she may be another buff but since they can change so much from their baby down to the feathers I will just have to wait and see. The Buckeye is closer in coloring to our "red sex-link" when she was a chick....but as you say they vary.

Awesome pictures and adorable babies!!!! Love them! I have 1 more month until my 6 little ones come, hatch date is 5/20!

Thanks, that is around the same time last year we got our first group from Meyer.

I will post some pics of the bearded NN's when they dry and get strong enough for the photo session.

Can't wait to see... I've never seen any!


My girls had their first outing yesterday in the run. Just an hour to check it out a little. 2 of them never came out of the coop. Hopefully they will all come out today. It's going to be in the low to mid 60's the rest of the week so they will get a little time every day and then Saturday will be start to come and go as they please. It was so cute to see them come down the little ramp into the run. I'll have to post pics later of a few I am questioning about gender. I think one of my Brahmas and one EE could be a roo. Just want everyone's opinion but I doubt I would do anything until I hear a crow. Unless it is completely obvious!

I didn't get any really good poses that showed the NN and beard but here is one, I will get more


The little black one you can see her beard, and that she is NN

Here is an adult I already have, she is not a Meyers chicken though






They have big bow ties, but they are NN. They are a cross between mottled houdan and NN
