OK here goes, I had posted some of my 2 boy's pics as 6 month-olds and they are now 10 months old. They are Whitmore stock, fyi, the girls do have pinchy tails, and didnt take any pics of them this time. The boys have great temperments, no aggressiveness so far and are really good to the girls (most of the time). Apparently have really great s*x drives toowink.png. lol

He does have a great shape a lot like the sop picture, he weighs less than #1 and seems to be dominated by him. My guess is the weight has to do with being excluded from food? He gets his share of the ladies though so he does alright:)

I like #2 better myself. He has better overall shape and color, IMO.

Can you get a rear shot of the spare roo?  And give him his own space?  I have seen some growth rate differences out of the same hatch - sometimes some just grow up slower than others.

Wait- is the spare roo the same as roo #2- I just went back and looked, as I thought there were three rooster there. Ah, old age!!!

If so  he is definitely better than the first roo, and I would take him even if he was a bit smaller.
