I would love to see his foot feathering, but he is handsome! I would personally wait until he is a little more mature, but he is a beauty! His girl is gorgeous, too!
Sorry to say but your chick is blind.
See the cloudy spot in the eye? It looks a lot like a cataract.
One of my Silver Appleyards hatched that way this past spring.
Number one has better color and better feet, but number 2 has better wattles. Keep them both for a while and see how they look in a few months, but if that isn't an option, keep number one. That is my opinion, anyway!
Great pictures-can you come to my house next?
ETA: actually, the second roo...
I like the thick neck and the feet on the first roo the best. He will probably get more white as he ages, but his wattles are bigger too. Personally, I like him the best, but I'm no judge either.
Thanks, Nate!
I am not interested in showing my birds, I just love being able to have some of them! They are my absolute favorite birds! Mr. Bo is a true gentleman and never aggressive.
