Henrietta is almost 6 months....cold here this morning so getting a little 'stretch' for a real SOP pose was not happening. tail is starting to really come in now. Love her head, comb, width and depth, rich color and tight wing carriage. I would not mind a bit more length of back though. My male...
Yes, that's one of the most evident differences even to newcomers...standard bred birds are BIG compared to hatchery/feed store birds. Of course there's alot more differences too but size is the first to meet the eye (-;
EXCELLENT comparison for differences in sire type despite being 3 months apart in age too. Both are lovely all around and notice the nice stiff main tails too!!
"Henrietta" at 12 weeks and in juvenile molt phase currently.
Not often one sees a Buff Orp pullet (12 weeks) and Buff Rock pullet (11 weeks) next to each other....Unique opportunity to compare & contrast these breeds--Enjoying both
