Here He is. His tail looks great to me but is it SOP?

 

[Billjr]

Here's another.

Goodness, that is ONE huge tail, for sure! Here's what the SOP says:

TAIL: Rather large, full, well-spread, carried at an angle of forty-five degrees (45*) above horizontal. Main tail -- broad and overlapping. Sickles -- of just sufficient length to cover main tail feathers. Coverts -- moderately abundant and medium in length.

To me, this guy's tail doesn't have enough of that overlapping effect....but I'm no expert!! In any event, he is a good lookin' guy!

Billjr can you see how his tail overlaps he took Best of Breed at 2 shows last year I will see if I can get a better pic of his tail

Oh my, he gave me palpitations! Look at the size of the drumsticks on that fella!

 

[Sugar Sand Farm]

old chick he was just 7 months old then you should see him now lol

 

[Billjr]

Sugar sand,
That's a great looking bird. Got any recent pics? Mine is 9 months now. I think mine might not be pure JG or something. He does not have yellow on the bottom of his feet. If anyone knows a breed with this type of tail that looks like JG's let me know please.

 

[Sugar Sand Farm]

Billjr yes here he is today what color are his feet maybe hes orpington

 

[Billjr]

That is a NICE bird. The feet on mine are gray on the bottom and dark gray on top. Same as his sister from the same batch of eggs I bought from someone on this site. Too bad you are so far away. I'd bring my splash hen down for a "visit"

 

[Sugar Sand Farm]

yes he is something Hes from the Bobbi Porto line here in Florida Hes been freeranging so hes not up to show yet but we will start conditioning him now for the show next month. Check Bobbi website she does sell chicks and eggs its IndigoEgg.us.com She specializes in silkies but has some of the best giants around.
