That's interesting about the Brinsea fans, too. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Time for some bator experimentation. :}

This! This is exactly how mine are turning out, some more patterned than others, but all with this exact color and pattern. I should get updated pics.. I wonder. I know you dabble in EEs, too, is this one possibly an EE/NN cross somewhere down the line? I was told mine were supposed to be green eggers so I assumed they were EE crosses. This pattern is pretty typical in EEs so maybe that's it. Still don't know what it would be called besides 'EE pattern', as it's not really partridge. Maybe yours could have EE in it, too, PsycoPeep?

It is extremely likely she is part EE

Glad to have you contributing to the NN thread, it is an open friendly thread, everyone is welcome to participate. Hope your chickies are all ladies.

sexing NN's I find challenging, and we all love pics.

i would love to show pictures but i have no camera. im thinking of buying some more when i can. maybe this week or next.

if one of the chicks has chip munk markings on its back will it be a white and brown chicken when it is older?

Wow oh wow oh wow! I hope my little girl? turns out as pretty as yours, Kass! I bought this one at a swap, he said she was pure, but who knows. A lot of swappers have "barnyard mixes".

Chipmunks can become a lot of diff colors and patterns. After the chipmunk fuzz is gone it will be replaced by the first chick feathers that will give some of the guys (kev and others good at it) on this thread an idea of what the adult color / pattern may be, then those will be replaced by more of the type of color and pattern you can expect from your adult (mostly there are always exceptions)

What you can't see in that pic is the base fuzz part of her feathers has a lot of blue in them


This shows it some better, that area that looks grey in this pic, looks blue/grey in real life

Anyone know what kinds of chickens come in the champagne color? Aside from brahmas?

I am soooooooooo sad!!!! I was going to start an EE program with an Araucana Roo and my NN's I have had him for a few days and now he is not well!! We got a Roo last week and have kept him in a giant dog crate. All seemed well until today. Though my little one said different. Yesterday we let him out in the run with the others for like 5 minutes and we found out he could FLY WELL!!. After we got him back we put him back in the crate for the rest of the day. I did my homework on clipping wings and this morning first thing we did the deed. again all seemed well. then I noticed he did not have as much fight in him as he did yesterday. so I put him back in the crate. That is when I noticed he looked listless and tired. He kept standing on the roost and closing his eyes. I also noticed a Yellow poo in the crate. .we moved him away from all the others and now he just stands there and does nothing unless you go after him. Here are a few pics of the lase two poos he had a few minutes apart. I Hope someone can help with this. SOON.







He looks so pitiful.



I started him on Corid Liquid 2 tsp. per gal about 2 hours ago. Any other Ideas would be great or my EE-NN program is as dead as he is and That would be as sad as losing him. He has become a family fav real fast and we would hate to lose him.

That is a lot of bile, is he eating?

He was pecking at food this morning but have not seen much since then. Yesterday all seemed normal. eating and drinking.
