I have 3 roosters - Orange Guy (the color of his leg band), Sirius, and James. They're all around 5 months old. All 3 are black with a bit of silver leakage starting to show. I already have an idea of who I'm keeping but I want to see what other people suggest as well. I'm trying to work more on type in my silkies, especially tail fluff and higher tails, as well as better crests.
Orange guy
Orange guy has little horns on his comb, his tail isn't very fluffy, and his wings have issues. His primary feathers seem to be sticking out a little and they don't go over the secondaries.
Sirius
Sirius doesn't have any major issues other than the fact he is pretty sickly. Coccidiosis hit him the hardest when they got it around 2-3 months ago. He's recovered from it now, but I just don't see him as a very healthy bird. I certainly don't want to breed in a low immune system or any health issues.
James
James is the fluffiest of the three. Ha has the poofiest tail. He has a bit of an attitude though. I don't know if it's the hormones or what, but he hates being held, bites and isn't too fond of me.
