Wings....

would be nice to have a separate thread. but if this is easier.. no worries.

I do both. I try to hang out with the birds so I can see their natural carriage and watch all the parts working together. But I also take a lot of photos. Last weekend I filled an SD card with over 1K photos. I take a lot to get a few good ones. I also spend a bit of time looking them over in...

Some of my females.. various ages. I noticed when I looked at a photos of the Jill Rees bird I have included, that many of my birds did mot seem to have the fan tail. I wondered if it was where they were in molting or a characteristic. Now I know to look for the wider fan as I choose breeders.

I would not cull on a comb as my first disqualifier until I had a lot of other things right in the bird. I think I have read from those that show a bad comb is only a few point deduction. A good comb on a bad bird is not what you want to be breeding. Work on a good body type with an eye on comb...

This is another male I really like body wise. He has no crest.. but everything else I like. i think the back is of good length and has a good slope to it. He is a stout bird as well.. lot of depth to his body. With no crest I have a nice comb. If he continues to look good in a few months I am...

Some of my birds.. the first a hen. I like her a lot. My females had longer back lengths than the males and was hoping for improvement in the offspring. Top male is main breeding male right now. The young cockerel is his offspring. I like this bird a lot. I got better length of back and a...

Im interested in discussing in more depth. Wonder if another thread might be best. Work has kept me busy but very interested in this discussion.
