I disagree. One of my prettiest hens was a NN + something fluffy mix. Sadly I lost her this past week.

She's very pretty! I'm sorry for your loss

american orpingtons are different from english orpingtons. they might fit well with NNs. english orpingtons are big fluffy balls with short fat legs. it suits them well but not the other breeds.

I think it was a Black Widow bite. They've been everywhere this spring. She went from perfectly fine to displaying symptoms of toxicity in a very short period of time. Within two hours she was dead.

Yeah...she was a one-of-a-kind, and was always perfectly healthy. It was a real shock. I performed a rudimentary necropsy and she appeared to be in perfect health...except she was dead. I found one little area of inflammation on her skin that I think was the bite/sting location. It was really small. Spider bite is the only thing I can come up with since the scorpions aren't out yet, it was too small an area for a snake bite, and I don't think Fire Ants prove lethal.

I have one of her eggs in the incubator that I'm really hoping will hatch, and one very sweet pullet that she gave me last year. This is her daughter, Rue:
