    It is not only the amount of points but the structure of the comb.  His comb is irregular in shape and progression.  The points should start out with the first one being the shortest and progressing to the last one being the tallest and it should be uniformed in it's progression.  It should also...

    Thanks for the info, Mr.Fred. Its starting to look like these barred rocks may be more of a challenge than I'm up for, ha. My reds are looking better each day and conversely, I seem to find more fault with the rocks each day. Considering just cutting back to the one breed for the time being...

    Can a bird's tail carriage improve with age? As i said, he is still relatively young and has improved a lot over the past several weeks. Even if it doesn't it will just be something i will have to work towards from him since he is all i have to get started with. Ha
