Miss Turkey 4, would you be able to do a rewrite with Kevin's corrections, when you have time that is; I just can't understand what Kevin is after as I'm more visual than verbal. For you and your baby:

Kevin,

Love your website; I have it on my fav list and look at the pics with my young boys. Great pics.

The baby had a small set back yesterday but is much better than he was on Friday. I just want to bring him home and hold him. They were not letting me hold him for more than 15 minutes a day.

Here you go. I think I fixed it all. What a mess I did to it.

Bourbon Red Tom (b+b+NgNgrr) X Narragansett Hen (b+b+ng-RR).

50% Red Bronze Toms split Narragansett. (b+b+NgngRr)

50% Red Bronze Hens (b+b+Ng-Rr)

Naragansett Tom (b+b+ngngRR) crossed on a Bourbron Red Hen (b+b+Ng-rr).

50% Red Bronze Split Naragansett Toms (b+b+NgngRr)
50% Golden Naragansett Hen (b+b+ng-Rr)

Thanks Miss Turkey 4. The golden Narri are very pretty.Wonder if they grow faster than the parents.

Lots of factors effect growth rate. Hybrid vigor might be one. If it is still not clear, there is a illustration from the resource that Porter was talking about.

Great job with the lessons but I have a question pertaining to my own flock. I have a pair of first gen. Blue slate x bourbon reds I plan to breed, but am not really sure what to expect. Any info you have would be helpful. Thanks.
