I got a pair of unanticipated NNs from my NYD hatch! Turns out the day the meat roosters got in to the laying flock they had more fun in a shorter amount of time than I expected LOL!
They really are two separate chicks LOL! They are almost identical in size, shape, and the white markings on their wings.
Cool, you were able to sell the NN too, that is great since you were having trouble getting interest in them.Kassaundra:
Did you see these that hatched for me on NYD.
Total of 16 or 17 NN's. I only have 10 chicks keft out of the fifty that I hatched. Sold the rest and had to cull a few.
Yes, I sold a few of the NN. the girl seen them and said "I need a few of those".
Contrats indeed!
you wouldn'tContrats indeed!
I have good friends who tell me that they wouldn't let their kids see a newly hatched NN. I've never told them what I want....It would go something like...'I wouldn't want your kids around either, they look like frogs to me and they might scare the HE double L out of my chicks'...
The "real feel" outside right now (7pm) is -18. Brrr. The majority of mine are tiny bantams, though, or silkies, frizzles, young NNs who hate the cold, etc etc. The hardier ones stayed out with the ducks under a heat lamp and a good couple layers of thick plastic wrapped around the coop.
I thought about it ShayBaby, especially since I already have a Brahma hen in her recovering from Bumble foot, but 36 flock members and 4 dogs and 2 adults was a bit much so they are all bedded down and as cozy as they can be. it's 8* right now I have no idea what the wind chill is but it's blowing hard.I brought the majority of mine in the house tonight.The "real feel" outside right now (7pm) is -18.

Cute baby pics posted, guys! I'm biased, but NN chicks are just about the cutest thing ever.
