I'm seeking some opinions on my New Hampshires. It's been several years since I've had anything other than hatchery chickens. I got them because I saw an opportunity that I could afford and I have always thought the German New Hampshires were the most beautiful chickens.
There are two cockerels and nine pullets. I think the older cockerel is better than the younger, but I guess wouldn't know. Is either worth saving? I'm not sure if I'm seeing split wing in some of the photos--I can't say I've noticed it while in the coop. I culled one cockerel already that had curled toes, and one pullet has curled toes.
Older cockerel (21 weeks old):
Younger cockerel (14ish weeks old):
Pullets:
