Lol, he is standing very proud, so maybe that's why. He's saying "Hey girls, check out this tail!

I think because of his upright stance, you can't really tell where his neck ends and his back begins, which makes his back look long when it's not. His tail is a bit high though, which is really common and one of the areas where the breed as a whole needs work. Just try to select females for him with very good tail angles.

I don't think it's the length, the tail appears to be set too high.

I agree, His back is a nice length

A bunch of mine are laying too, they started about a month ago.

I got 10 out of 13 in my wheaten/blue wheaten pen and one is broody.

I still have to go through and remove 2-3 girls in there. Their eggs are more green than I prefer, so away they go.....

6 or 7 of my 9 are laying I think I'm still waiting on the paul smith pullets. Also 4 of 6 of my faverolles are laying. I am getting about 10 eggs a day.
