. . . . . and you have got some nice ones. I have seen alot of these German strain NHs around lately. I wonder who will stick with them, and how much influence they will have on the breed in the long run. I like seeing the good looking New Hampshires. I spent alot of time trying to find good ones. I like seeing the interest in them. I would like to know if anyone is going to try working with them, and if so . . . What do they intend to work on? I would also like to see if there is any good "American" NHs out there. Thank You for sharing the pictures.
I belive the hen in front is American they were toe punched so I'll have to check their toes latter.
I'd say its more likely the girl in the back left as the other two have the more golden hackle and that's one of the things in ? on these German bred NH some are back crossing onto good American stock(when found) to darken this area a bit as the European standard and the APA standard aren't quite in the same ball park on the colors on the NH esp. in the female area. I believe this is accurate You may want to delve off a little deeper than by just what I post and see if so. interested
