that one NN rooster was the most gorgeous NN roo that I have ever seen. The others were nice, but didn't have the same golden barred saddle feathers that made the one so unique. I might have bought a different one if I didn't already have a frizzled nn that I haven't been able to determine the gender - hatched from eggs out of Carla's flock, plus the blue NN roos coming from Monty. Since I am starting with chicks on the nn pullets this week, I have time to grow a nn rooster or two.

This pic shows the red skin on the breast in a banny

I thought that I had a better pic. of these hens but I don't. This hen doesn't have nearly as much black on her as some of the others do.

You missed one frizzled NN roo at tonight's auction

Your signature line indicates you are looking for "Giant Jungle Fowl" - what would those be? A relative of the Red Jungle Fowl or the Saipan Jungle Fowl?

Nice chicken pictures Les!

Is there a way to get sex linked NN's? I am asking because of the ones I have hatched this year all of the roos but one are blue and all of the pullets but one are black.
They hatched out of NN X NN and NN x ?? I thought maybe the ones out of the NN xNN could be sex linked. Is that possible or am I ddreaming?

Ok all these nn pics are freaking me out. I am going to have nightmare of redneck chickens.

I miss not being able to go to Fletcher. Finally got in touch with my friend, she has a really bad cold. Sounds like everyone had fun. Hopefully I can make it to one on the 31st.

Need to get to bed, have a lot of work to do outside in the morning before it gets to hot.

Well everyone have a good night!

I have never tried that but if you put a barred rooster over a red hen or any of the other color combinations you should get sex linked birds. Try a search for auto-sexing chicken breeds.

One thing though I have noticed through the years is that the NN hens will nearly always have multi points on her comb and a rooster not so many. (4 points is Standard) Teva hatched a NN today that had a 4point comb so I will have to see if this holds water.

If anybody has NN hens with 4 points on their comb I would sure be interested in them.

ya you gotta watch out for the pavement here it will get you. every year at the clinic someone brings in a dog they took for a walk in 100 degree heat and burned the pads off their paws. It can't feel good to have the entire pad peel off in 1 piece from every paw.
