I have a question for you guys who have bred NNs for a while - do you ever cull fully feathered chicks when they hatch if you are only interested in NN offspring? Do you grow them out for meat?
Just curious...

Not culling NN yet but project birds get checked for structure on butchering day. Good equals egg layer. Not so good equals meat. I'm watching a good rooster now for continuing project. Nice size and looks like his dad.
