He's beautiful! What egg size do your NN hens lay? Also, thanks for the information on Cackle- now we know the referral source for those wanting mottleds. btw where did you get your NN from?

Kev;

Thanks for the compliment! I found Octavius and his 2 sisters on Craigslist. You might recall I made posts about the rooster that didn't crow earlier
this summer. He is crowing now and is extremely aggressive. If I don't feed him first he goes for the ankles. I have the scars to prove it!
Octavius and his sister are about 16 weeks old (June) in this photo.

I bought them from an elderly couple in McQueeny, Texas that ordered the "Heavy" Special from Ideal. They bought the chix for
their grandkids, but the kids only wanted to play video games and weren't interested in the chickens. That's why they were for sale.

They were also trying to sell some BIG buff Orp and Hampshire hens and a Jersey Giant roo that at 16 weeks was about as big as a lawnmower!
I considered buying him too just because of his size, but decided I couldn't afford to feed him. HA! This was the first time I have seen
breeds other than NNs from Ideal. They were all FAT and healthy. Plus+ to Ideal.

Anyway, to answer your question, I have purchased about 25 pullet chix from Ideal. All are buff/brown/red, etc. They are all fat, have big butts, and lay big eggs.
I didn't know Ideal offered black, but apparently they do. I contacted them about some white NNs, that they don't breed.

I recommend their stock and they are super friendly on the phone if you call. Just remember Ideal is in East Texas and their accent is REALLY weird!

Man, this kind of thing makes me REALLY sad. I am a /huge/ video game and computer game nutter, but my chickens are some of the only things that can drag me out of the house!
I even consider it a form of therapy when my classes in college make me want to go postal

NITRO I watched the video that you posted and on that it is easy to see that you spend a lot of time with your flock of birds. Maybe it takes more than buying an item for kids. But I know that my son had to find his own interests even though I forced him into participation in several 4-H activities. But since he is an adult he says that he appreciates all the activities that I exposed him to.

The best! I came by mine when my bird dog killed their wild/game hen mom, and they are the sweetest most amazing birds. I've actually started my first batch of eggs and they started hatching yesterday 16 and counting!

I'm already so in love with them!!
