I have found alot of people in my area have never even seen an NN. I have people stopping and asking me what they are. LOL Even some of the chicken people didn't know what they were. Some of the Amish knew but that has been it so far. LOL

Just wanted to check if anyone is in need of an NN roo. I have way too many and with them not wanting to go out in this weather, alot of fighting has been starting. I live in PA.

Sorry I did not get to wish everyone a Merry Christmas but I hope everyone had a nice holiday!!! So I am wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hope including this picture of this cute little face makes up for it!
