Aww, cute little Beepie! She sounds adorable.

And yes, everyone, I realize my name is a typo. It was midnight when I created my acct and I had been working a long day in the factory. I didn't realize the h didn't take until it was too late and I've asked them if I can change the spelling to PsychoPeep and never heard back from them. {{{shrugs}}} oh, well.

Nava- she looks to be either splash(as in pure for blue gene) or has dominant white.

Did you have red sex links? She would have fit a bird from RSL bred with your black/blue/ splash NN.

Are her legs white? If so would really suspect she is cross with your orp based NN- orps have white skin and it is dominant over yellow.

DW or blue is not a bad thing to have in a buff line. in fact it is used in some buff lines to mask any black leaks.

for buff line it would be much easier to find buff birds or black tail buffs with as little black in tail as possible. a solid buff is one of the hardest colors to accomplish as it requires many different genes. this hen is well on the way there though, just need a good roo. White roosters are just too much of an unknown unless you already know the background on him? For example the white roo may be dominant white plus has barring, so all chicks would come out white... second generation cross would throw cuckoos, blacks, birds colored like pullet black sex links, some like this hen, whites.

Kev, what kind of rooster would you pair her with?

Never had sexlinks.

I got a LOT to learn, never tought she could be pure for the blue gene

TY.

So I was staring at my Dunken NN. I noticed that she has 3 small black feathers on her side! She also has some outlined black on the feathers of her shoulders! I had to inspect her to see if it was just because she loves rolling in dirt and mud. She is filthy but after taking a really close look it is really neat the reat of her is pure white.

Here we go again!
Ok so ill start this off again. We gave away 3 of our cockerals so now were down to 9 all together... My one NN cockeral I kept still isn't understanding that he can't just grab the girls tail... We kept the older non NN that we have hoping he will teach the younger one what to do, does this work? Or is it just a wait till they get older thing?

im so impatient here. i need buy a camera so i can show you guys my chicks. maybe this weekend ill buy a camera if i can. i know one of them is a barred nn i think and im pretty sure i have at least one partridge and i think a wheaten and then one of the wings on one of them where it is getting its wing feathers its mostly all white but then it has sort of like a splash of black. and then one of the wings on one of them is like a silky white(not a silky chicken) with tint of a very light brown. like the lightest brown you could think of with the feathers having a black outline. oh they are so pretty i cant wait to show you guys them.

It's usually the older they get.... you know how teenage boys can be when their hormones kick in? LOL!

Sorry to hear that : (

The "moms" lost their first chick today, it was one of the NN w/ a small bow tie, not a Sc carrier and was going to be some form of red.  Healthy and active just hours before, nice full crop (not over full) nice weight to the chick, I figure it was hurt in an accident Reba is a very active digger.
