The easiest way to post pcs is to open an account with photobucket.com . Upload your pics to there. Then copy and paste the URL associated with that pic into a message here. Folk can click on that hot link and get to your photobucket pics.

cuckoo/Barring breeds are auto sexing breeds, boys will have a lager more pronounced head spot, pullets smaller not so pronounced white head spot...
