Niederrheiner Thread! All Colors!

It was the Arabian. I gave you covered now thank you.

I sent out a group email to those who had said they wanted to be part of the process to get Lemon Cuckoos Neiderrheiners recognized as a breed by the APA
If you did not receive the email from last night and you do want to be involved please send me your email address at [email protected]
I have noticed several folks posting on this thread that I have not heard from and I want to let those know that I do not have their emails.

Here is our draft of the breed standard. If everyone would take a week or so to review it and make recommendations, if you have any? After we have received all inputs and created our final draft; we will send a letter to the APA requesting to be put in a recognition process officially. In that letter we will need each members full name, address, phone and your date that you started raising LCNs. You will also need to become an APA member for the five year breeding period. I would like to be able to put our groups membership status into our letter.

A recommendation has been made to create a LCN Club. We may be able to have a online club or local clubs depending on your individual desires. Let me know your opinions on this matter also, please?

If you feel comfortable sharing your inputs directly to the group please do so. If you prefer to send them to me then I will send out to the group as if they are my suggestions. I am also posting this on the thread because several people have commented on the thread that did not send me their email. Thank you all for supporting this endeavor.

I can't keep Neiderrheiners but I love it when people work to get a rare breed into the APA. Good luck to you all.

Had an email from GFF that the Nieds we ordered won't be coming, that they were off to a slow start laying. The Biels too. The other 3 breeds are available, so we opted for a swap in breeds to keep the order coming. Hoping for Legbars and Barnvelders, waiting to hear. Otherwise our whole order gets delayed until all are available.

So I'm definitely in the market for some hatching eggs to get started with.

First major hatch of the spring, and all went well! Had 24 fertile Niener eggs, and got 19 fluffy chicks! Set another 40 Niederrheiner eggs on 3/19 and have a while yet before I can candle and see how many are fertile. I think that will be it for me to hatch for the spring. Gonna wait until fall before I hatch more, so I can see how these develop first!

 

[Vorksigan]

Wow, awesome!

 

[BW56]

Nice hatching.

 

[StephWind]

Well, candled this morning and down to 31 now... The roo must have been ignoring some of the girls. We have also had some pretty cold temps that might have affected the eggs...

Hi gang,

Been out of the loop because we weren't getting email notifications for some reason. Still interested in helping out.
