but I guess no one is in the critiquing mood today
I expect it's not so much that, more that one needs to know about a particular breed to be able to give an informed opinion.
I assume he's an Australorp. He looks nice to me, but what I know about Australorps could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
Are you able to alter the title to add the breed, then, maybe, the people who know about Australorps would be most likely to read the thread.
