He is an attractive cockerel!
Keep him home until he grows a tail! If he wins with a tail like that, the victory won't be worth crowing over....
Don't get too hung up on the number of points in the comb - it's only a two point scoring knock for >/< a 5 point perfect comb.
Nice cockerel!
Evening, all. Yup, Erik has some nice birds. I've had his bantam & LF stock for a few years now. He has been breeding "this" line for many years. He's not inclined to say it is one line in particular. If pressed, he will recall from whom he acquired a new cock bird, but it's from l-o-n-g ago...
BRITROCK - very nice birds! I agree - I like the shape of your little pullet.
I have a couple of not so hot photos of my LF Barred Rock cockerel. One photo shows him next to his Grandfather - I believe the cockerel is on the right & the old boy, the left. I'm pleased with the cockerel"s...
Lucky123, he is a nice cockere! I was pretty sure I was taking him to the Northeast Poultry Congress, but he hasn't gotten around to growing much of a tail. He'll get a local spring show in as a cockerel, then he'll be in the big boys' class.
Erik asked about him just today, and as I was...
Hi - nice pullet! Yes, her barring is normal, and quite nice and "tight." She ought to be thinking about laying soon... I have a bunch of these little rascals, and they're great. They make wonderful mothers, and have a tendency to be broody. Here's a photo of one of my little pullet's wings...
Lovely birds, Flicker Chick! Come to Maine...I can direct you to a breeder of some mighty fine LF & bantam Barred Plymouth Rocks! (it's not me - yet - try back in twenty years for that )!
Here's a photo of my gangly bantam cockerel, all tail & legs, at 17 weeks:
Two of the teenager...
