Thanks, they are actually black, but shine purple and green depending on the light. He is so bright he almost looks metallic.

Are they easy to breed? Also, how many eggs do they lay a week? My hen isn't laying

I'm with Flower on this! Beautiful boy!!

So I posted a while back about hatching 4 barred NN chicks. Two are black.. They look to have double dose of the NN gene, as they have those naked strips down the back and belly and a mostly naked butt. So Brian must be the daddy of those two. Mother could have been the black NN girls (Spock or Spock) or maybe Murtle who is reddish, though I vote one of the Spocks as the mother.

Will have to get some pictures soon. The barred NNs are outgrowing the two blacks.

Can't wait to see the pics. I lost all my barred NN boys, they all died?????? None of the girls in that batch did, they are all healthy and happy, just started laying a couple of months ago. None of the barred were girls. I am guessing it was something genetic.

None of my barred were girls either Kassaundra!

Out of these barred, at least one appears to be a male so far. Can't say on the other 2.

The two black NNs have pea combs as well, where only one of the barred ones do. I do not breed single combed NNs, as we like the green eggs they lay.

I didn't breed my barred NN's, the barring was from dominques so I had single and rose(ish) combs on my barreds. I like the colored eggs as well, and while I don't mind a small single comb, I don't find the big combs and wattles asthetically pleasing. My new NN boy has a weird cross of a single and ???? comb it is similar to the hooda's odd comb.

Those weren't the ones that hatched from my eggs were they?
I ended up with 1 barred hen from the same matings of the eggs you recieved from me.

No, those eggs are where I got Mensa from, and I believe she was the only hatch from them.
