The NHs have a pretty large following but I could just never get interested in them. I suppose I'd get RIRs before them and I can't see myself ever having any f them either....But you never know. I HOPE we're set up here to were we never have to buy chicks/chickens again. With four hefty hardy breeds, that should provide decades of diverse genetics to play with.

I have the same feeling but flipped around. Just never cared for the RIR one bit. Sort of liked NH, especially the ones that were truly dual production bred not just layers. Then there are the German imports- beautiful but no idea if they are good dual purpose birds. I have often thought crossing NN to a German NH would make handsome showbirds.

I'm just hanging out waiting for more of them to lay. My two EE NN (ok, too many letters in there) pullets are laying nice dark green eggs. They aren't quiet olive, but still darker than I expected. My rooster had some unknown egg genetics so I wasn't sure how dark the offsprings' eggs would be. Still four more pullets that aren't laying yet, so I need to be patient.

The two that are laying are only 23 weeks. Their eggs are in the 54 - 56 gram range, so nice size for such young birds. Hoping for consistent XL eggs when they are mature.

Yeah! Combs on two of the potential color eggers are finally starting to grow and pink up...

Fox problem here. Nothing happened yet, but they wander around my neighborhood for few weeks and today they showed up in my backyard. Tommorow morning I will have to make something stronger to hold the door closed. This will be a long night.
