--- Quote ---If you have a photo (or any other \"attachment\"), that you want to add to your post, saved somewhere on your computer it is easy to do. When you \"reply\" to a post a reply window (screen or box) comes up. You type your reply in the \"Message\" area as usual, but then click on \"Browse\" down below in the \"Attachments\" area. From there you choose the file (such as a photo) that you want to attach. Maybe it is under \"my pictures\" or somewhere else, but once you find it click on it and then click \"open\". The file location should then be in the box to the left of the \"Browse\" button. Then click on the \"Add Attachment\" button. It may take a minute. You\'ll be able to preview your post with the attachment, before clicking \"Reply\" to complete your reply. The one thing that may cause a problem is if your file (photo or whatever) is too large. We have a 75KB max. file size so that folks with a dial up phone hook up don\'t have to wait forever for things to download. If the photo is too big, it will tell you so and you will have to edit it down to size and try again.

Mike Gilbert:
As I said before, go to Feathersite.com, and search for Blue Andalusian. That will give you an idea of the coloring we are attempting to achieve. If you know what a \"good\" Silver Laced Wyandotte looks like (female), imagine gray and black instead of white and black. But the genetics are quite different with the Wyandottes, so don\'t use them. The white lobe is something that can be bred out over time as long as you are starting with Ameraucanas that have good red lobes. Don\'t expect success with only a couple of generations - it takes time and perseverance to do a makeover like this. And raising a lot of culls.

I tried it again. I had the picture too large earlier.
May crop a section of her to get a closer pic.

Here is a zoomed in pic of the lacing on Lacy.

This is our blue Ameraucana hen (have about 6 or 7 chicks from her and our Black cock).
This is what her lacing looks like.
