I am so glad you have decided to review. I have a few questions about a particular New Hampshire I would like to address. I recently participated in my first show and entered the Cock bird pictured below.
I had three males to choose from, and picked this one because of his body width and tail. His tail is nice and open and well colored and I was happy with his sickle feather. Plus, he has good coloring on his beak and legs, which does not translate over in the photos. His comb is nice, but I am not sure about its shape. However, I was mostly concerned with the way he holds his wings and almost didn't enter him because of this.
I am sorry that I don't have better photos, but the one on top is how he typically holds his wings: The photo on the bottom was taken on a very warm day, but gives you a nice side view of him.
Long story short he won Reserve Champion Large Fowl. I wanted to speak with the judge after the show to ask about what he saw in the bird so I could learn, but sadly he had to leave immediately afterward. So, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if his wings are okay?
I appreciate it.
