DORABLE, Dan! Congratulations to Dave and June on their beautiful new addition.

Christie, They *could* have been NaNa or Nana+, but if they have big bowties then they are Nana+.
What I know about the Frizzle gene is --- one copy makes pretty, curled feathers and 2 copies make fragile, brittle, 'over-curled' feathers. For that reason, always breed frizzle to smooth (non-frizzled) birds. When you breed frizzle to smooth, you can expect to get 50% frizzle offspring and 50% smooth offspring.
Looks like the splash frizz NN guy inherited his fathers comb --- what a cutie! I'd love to see the the blue black-skin frizz NN girl. Those are really special to me.

Dave and June's first chick has hatched.

Nice little one,but who is Dave and June?

what breed are they?

 

[Knock Kneed Hen]

Dipsy, love the little FM NN.

chickgrowerdan, is that a stripe continuing up the back of your chicks head? Keep posting pics, l like seeing the progression. Congratulations to Dave and June
BTW, do you KNOW my cousin Dave and his wife June? (Yep, I have 'em )

 

[chickgrowerdan]

Nava, Dave and June are my Speckled Sussex X NN pair. I didn't expect to get a striped chick so quickly. I'm hoping the little booger is mille fleur patterned.

KKH, yes the stripe goes almost all the way down the back of the neck, just a fine line of fuzz.

I have a few more of June's eggs in the incubator and a few more that'll get set with my swap eggs for the Valentine's Day hatch. I'm pretty sure a lot more pictures will be coming.

Dave and June


I am calling this one Chipper for now.

Sorry, just have to mess with you

Dan, does June have dark skin on her neck or is that just the camera angle.
