Here is a pic of my f2 black NN FM. I think I need to add in a cemani roo to get the FM up. The father has become kind of mulbery on his comb and I would like to get them black. I have 15 f2's so I will see how they grow up.

So nice to see naked necks from other countries and lines. I agree these look nice and solid. Are Hungarian lines known for particular traits? Heavy, good layers or..?
I guess this is an f3 but it the first generation from FM to FM. The grandmother hens are 2 I got from an auction that might be from some comercial FM project. There were 8 hens all were exactly the same, black normal feathers, black skin, black crests, polydactle, strait combs standard size. All were in very bad condition,molying, missing toes and wheezing. No roosters, 2 survived. The great grand father roo was a NN cross that looked like it had some maylay in it as it was very upright with pea comb. He was crossed with a jersey giant to make the grand father. I used 6 FM pullets (1NN) from the NN father and the FM hen and one NN FM roo. These are chicks from that group and now I am standardizing them. I want black feathers with strong FM and a small modified pea comb with small or no waddles in as large a size as possible. I want to develop them in both NN and normal together. I will produce as many as possibe each generation and select the best blackest combed NN roo and a mix of the best NN and non hens with all the traits I want. I will use a NN roo because you can see the ones that hold the black the most, so far they have some mulbery in the comb and the neck, I hope to darken it up if I can't I will try to add in a cemani roo to the group of hens and keep going. I have am starting another project from some of the none black sports. I would like to start an all white FM and a shamo FM both possibly with some NN in the groups. The problem is it takes alot to work on several project at once because you really need to raise up alot of babys of each generation.
