I did the same thing. Roos looked scaggly so sold a couple off this past summer. Ran into buyer at work and she told me both mottled turned calico and very nice. I didn't believe her cause I seen no promising with them. Then she pulled her phone out and showed me pics and oh boy was I floored. Such nice cushions and did a total 180 in type. So I told her that they looked wonderful and glad she loves them. I kept 2 roos out of 14 I sold/ate... im disappointed with 1, and starting to like the other as he molted and looks much better. That boy dose look very nice. Love the younger one too. Hopefully and he should fill out nicely. Love his color!So here he is!Cockerel in the front is just a little youngster I'm growing outHere is that little cockerel I'm growing out again, he has some proper feather pattern on the rear end and less deep red with cleaner color. unfortunately all this black is coming in the front end. But think I learned my lesson about shipping them on too quickly. Gonna spend a little more time growing juveniles out this year.
