There are some lovely pics. of NN's in the last few days....keep them coming.

My Mort has been a bit poorly.....swollen hot foot, doesn't seem to be bumblefoot and he is slowly improving. Here he is having a little TLC .

Yes, he is lapping it up.......

You click the "Uploads" link (up at the top of the page... in the row with Index... User list... etc)... and then you pretty much just follow the instructions on how to load your pics (just take a second to scan the page, it's pretty user friendly)... once you have your pics on there there you can just copy and paste them into posts.

Sure hope this helps. Amy

Thanks Kev,
I will try and do this. I am trying to get a large bodied NN and I am trying to perfect the blue line.
I lost my older blue NN brood cock but I have a son from him that I plan to use.
I think I have three pure NN hens, (no bow ties) plus some with bowties.
I have been wanting to buy some more hens but they are hard to find and are bringing top dollar here.
Thanks again for your help.
I'll let you know how things are going with the project.

Here is the first egg from my little white Showgirl next to a Welsummer egg. It is so cute, when I saw it I wanted to take it to bed with me to incubate it.

BayshoreK9 posting pictures seems difficult at first but the instruction are listed as a sticky also remember to look for all the links on the top and in the lower corners of the frame. After you practice and figure it out, you will see that it is very easy after all.

What kind of hens do you have with him?

I got 2 blueXtra roos, they have bowties, but the color is perfect,
I'm keeping 2 other roos one with a full NN and the other one with a bowtie, just in case I loose one, I hate to have to get rid of them but I have no room for all the roo's, not to mention the 2 black ones that i'm keeping for other projects.

The pure lavender NN is the cockerel and the black hen has the lavender gene SO if I remember everything Kev told me correctly
I'll get 1/2 blacks, 1/2 lavenders AND 1/2 NN, 1/2 bowtie.

Great pics, looks like you have an amazing set up for the chickens?! Correct on color, as for bowties- 1/2 like on hen, 1/2 like on cockerel.. *maybe* the occasional totally bare necks, as I got 2 total bare neck chicks from the same group..

Couldn't promise on the end size of the cockerel, as the parents were crosses between a really small bantam and a largish bantam(like the hen), so the second generation could be from pretty small to large bantam.

Going to make mille fleur NN? let me know if you succeed in that, especially if clean leg.. btw porcelain is mille with lavender added, so if you use the lav cockerel, you should end up with porcelains too. he will breed them fine, the milles will grow some more anyhow..

I can't wait for the necks on lav cockerels to turn candy apple red, should be great contrast with the soft lav color..
