Can you tell us what angles, veiws, close-ups would be the best to help you out?

Here's a few pics of some hatchery NH. I don't know if they'll be of use for comparison or to point out what to not look for in NH. If you'd rather not see hatchery chicks on here, please let me know and I'll delete them, no worries. I don't want to disrupt the vibe with pics of ugly birds.

These are 18wks old, not yet laying.
