Thanks for your reply. Im new to all this what do you mean by a profile shot?
A side shot showing the entire body of the bird. This makes it easier to evaluate conformation, male hackle and sickle feathers. I made my gender 'guess' based on the large comb and wattles plus the small crest. The presence of masculine sickle and hackle feathers would help to confirm that guess.
