Someone posted a website that had excellent pictures of individual saddle feathers for a hen, developing roo and roo.  I can't find that post.  Can anyone help me find it?  Thanks!

Mother to 4 wonderful children, grandmother to 4.  1 DH (39 years), 1 pug, 1 Basenji, 1 dashshund mix (notice I put my DH in that same group! hahaha)  6 EE's, 1 Buff Orphington, 1 RIR, 1 Silkie, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Brown Leghorn, 1 Polish, 1 Welsummer.  Hope to fill my basket with different colored eggs!

Here is one chart I found, but it is not the one I was looking for.  It is very helpful though.  http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/343605/diagrams-poultry-parts-charts-and-lots-of-reading-updated-nov-13th  Hope this helps.
