Hi Marco! Me too. I've been studying them through the hatcher window, waiting for the last draggy ones to hatch.
I've got the camera charging and will get pics when I move them to brooder (hopefully later this evening).
I see lots of dark skin showing, but I have the hatcher divided into quads (to keep different crosses separate), so I can't see all the chicks!
But I see some surprises.

I am beginning a batch/ tomorrow with only a few NN crosses. Blue marans over turken and of course many from my birds. I'll post here if I have any good NN babies.
 
Yaay for more Naked Neck chicks! Nice, NN Marans and blue, too!
I have a couple more eggs that haven't done anything yet (they were *live* on Day 18), so rather than open the hatcher, I'll give them til morning. I moved last weeks chicks to the spare room and got a fresh brooder waiting.

Ok, everyone here is your mission.
If you have have a blue NN rooster and a Splash Jersey Giant rooster and you have
three blue NN hens, two black NN hens, four black JG hens, one blue JG hen and one splash JG hen.
In what combinations would you mate these birds to get the most and the best looking NN chicks?

Discuss!
 
well Buckguy, since you want the answer perhaps you should do the experiment ? Most BEST LOOKING CHCKS CATEGORY would fall into the "subjective column" would it not ?


One QUESTION with many variables gives you a philosophical answer.

How old do NNs have to be, before you can determine the sex? Anything to look for in particular?
