Hey Y'all I'm kinda new to the whole chicken raisin community. Was wanderin about NHR's. Wanted to know if any of y'all had any experience with em. Also wanted to ask y'alls opinions on choosin between NHR and RIR chickens. Is there really enough difference in the broodiness of them to justify the NHR? And as far as egg production are the RIR "far" greater than the NHR? Just a few lil questions I figured y'all could help me with. Need all the info I can get o please frie away!! Thank Y'all.

I got NHR firstly becuase of the rave reviews, and secondly, EVERYBODY gets RIRs... so I wanted something "different" that not everyone has...

I'm just like that I guess...

Thank you SO much. This helps in my decision on what to go with. Right now I have tetra tints and leghorns...... And cornish rocks (that I will soon not have

) So I wanted to add some color to my flock as well as the ability to let them do the leg work on hatchin eggs. I have some room to fill in the coop as well and don't my other chickens gettin to lonely. I'll keep ya posted on progress. Thanks So much again.
