New Hampshire Reds pls post pics

[chickens112]

I have a small group of NHR. I was wondering if yall could post some pics of your NHR so that i could compare them to mine. I have one roo and four hens, but one hen looks a little darker. Also how do you tell the difference between a production red and a NHR. Thanks any input is welcomed.

Is there anyone else? Also is it ok for there to be black spots on the rooster's chest? Mine has those spots. I hope i can get some pictures of him on here soon. I have been really busy lately. thanks

Mine are breeder quality, and i go by the standards. These are a good pic of what good birds will look like, the hens comb can be red-er she is young here. These are bantams, but the standards are the same except weight.

Nice looking NHs! Mine have not enough black in the hackles, IMO, but then, I never expect anything great from Ideal, standard-wise.

The pictures posted above look more like Production Red hen (top)
New Hempshire Bantams showed above have similar plumage to Standard New Hampshires, but most bantams are not "exact" miniatures of large breeds, they have disproportionate large heads for their size, and their tails are too short and disproportionate comparing to Standards.

That's a NH Red pullet electioneering.

This was about two months before they started to lay.

McMurray hatchery bird. I have three. I do have more recent photos, but not on this hard drive.
