Description
We at Dunlaps’ are introducing the Steel Blue Nova as a comparable breed to our Blue Gem (currently unavailable). This breed is also known as Novogen’s Color Ash and was developed to be a dual-purpose bird. Novogen has been developing strong genetic traits in poultry since the late 1990s. All of their breeds have been created using well-known, heritage varieties. The Blue Steel Nova is a cross between Novogen’s bloodline of Rhode Island Red hen and their Ash rooster. The Ash rooster is an Andalusian cross. This combination creates a very robust bird, adaptable to all living environments, that is able to perform well under challenging conditions. Chicks are able to be color sexed at birth providing near 100% gender accuracy. If you are looking for an exceptional layer with unique plumage, we highly recommend you give the Nova a try!
