Here is an update on the baby pure NN FM.

I'm really attracted to these birds! We have a 'one breed' rule in our household but this wouldn't be the first rule to be shoved aside...A really fine looking bird!

I am pretty sure its a roo but in this pic it does look like a pullet. Its great grand father was a split shamo/NN and grand mother a JG. FM was added with grand mother. It is not as dark as I hoped and will need another 8 months to get his final grade. It only has 2 feathers on its neck and I pluck them so it nice and NN! Still lots of variation in the babys in all areas. Right now FM is the most important trait.

Just curious...why would you pluck the feathers? Won't they grow back?

They will grow back... People think NN requirements is complete NN in America but that's Europe standard not American..
