This spring is the first year we're actively breeding for meat. We have a Black Broiler male (to be fair, I didn't know he was a broiler when I bought him) over NNs and Nns. Possibly over my mystery pullets that came with him too.
Breeding with NNs is nice because the offspring will be far less feathered if they get even just one copy of the naked gene (so Nn). They don't just have missing feathers on their neck, they also have less feathering on their hips and armpits
