Alright @Cyprus help me out here.. does this look like your boy? What needs to be bigger/smaller fluffier/stragglier? I’m having trouble with comb and feet. Thinking legs are too short? Also can’t tell how mature your rooster was so that might be off. Trying to go off d’uccles on google + your pics.

I have an LG V20
So similar

My phone flew of my husbands truck going about 30 mph. I found it in 3 pieces. The screen part was in the road and I littlery watched someone drive over it before I got to it. Put it all back together and it still works great and what amazing is screen is not cracked or shattered.

It definitely looks like him!! I would say that the comb is very accurate. No worries there. He was always a little more scraggly in his saddle feathers. You can see that well in the pic paused from the video.
His feet feathers were a little heavier/fluffier on the toes/"ankles" He also has Vulture Hocks. You can see those in the pic of him indoors.
So far it is really great and I cannot thank you enough!!!

Oh yeah. He was about 2 years old in the pictures.

This talk of snow fences brings back memories.

When I lived in Wyoming several years ago the snow fences were a bit more sturdy. They looked like pallets set up at a 45 degree angle from the ground.

My birth father had some tourists convinced they were bleachers for rattle snake races.

People are so gullable sometimes.

Ok awesome, saddle feathers noted. Totally not ready to ink the feet though lol. What does vulture hocks mean? So his whole feet should be fluffier right? Is that like.. long feathers or more straggley fluff or both?

Just looked up vulture hocks, that makes waaay more sense. In all the reference pics I thought those were long wing tips! Hahaha woopsie.

Vulture Hocks

His feet have a few longish feathers but mostly scraggly stuff. As for how much feathering, just the outer side needs more. The toes are good. Does that make sense?

Don't worry too much about his feet. Foot feathers are tricky anyway because they break easily.
