So today I went out and thought I could take some pics to show you guys my one and only turken
On one of the pictures you can see my latest project- headless chicken.
She looks like a nice sized hen. Red us my favorite color next to tge calico ones that I have. They are bred from the Aloha chickens. But I need red for the spots to come in good
I got a little NN mix from Eddy Ramirez and put her in my bantam pen with my Serama roo. . I didn't mean to create anything, but she outsmarted me by setting on eggs out of view.CUTE! did you create this line?
Now I have to take back what I said about the Label Rouge hens. Out of 5 eggs so far today, only one is small (38gm). Two are L-XL and two are jumbo (80 and 84gm). Hope their reproductive systems settle down soon. I guess I shouldn't complain that such large hens are laying in the middle of summer.
Now I'm just waiting for the NNs so I can try hatching some crosses.
Desert chic - you liked the taste of the Biel better then the NN? I might have to wait a bit but I could get one of those locally so depending on how this cross does I could look into that.
I liked the skin on the NN much better as it crisped up beautifully, but I did like the flavoring of the Biel slightly more. It was pretty darn close though....so I'm thinking a cross of the two would be darn near perfect.I also have to wonder if the timing of the culls had something to do with the difference in flavoring. I culled the NNs a couple months back when there wasn't much to forage here. (I live in the AZ desert. Not much green.) The Biels have had the advantage of all the nut grass that grows here during monsoon season along with a variety of wild flowers and lots of crickets and grasshoppers. No comparison on the skin, though. The NNs won that hands down.
I also keep looking at Bresse as a possible cross with NNs. I'm not sure if the white feathering in the Bresse is dominant, but if it were, some white feathered naked necked Bresse crosses could prove mighty tasty.
