Here is a poster for you old timing guys from 1918
Only big thing I see is he needs a little more tail, not angle but lower feathering in the tail. He will probably get more with age, as well as a little more size and body. Good legs and back but needs that width in the back and maybe a little more width side to side in the tail. Nice bird
Hey Cindy. I know you don't really need the opinion of a novice but I just wanted to tell you that Melbourne looks great anyway.![]()
Nicer curves and tail, overall better than most I've been seeing around here. You must be feeling pretty proud of him.
The problem that stands out to me the most is the tail angle and width . Mick and the girls have tails over 40 degrees and they appear pinched in the photos. Mick needs more width, and more of a chest, but that may improve as he gets older. I would also work to get a wider stance in the legs, but that might come as you work on the overall width of the birds.
I think he is a keeper for sure, Has the Australorp look. No doubt about his breeding. As Dan said, it's hard to comment on a picture, but that is what you ask, so here goes. I like his top line curve, other than what appears to be a flat spot just down from the comb. That may be due to his pose. I think his pose may have his head a little far forward? He should grow more tail, he needs that, and some more filling out. I assume he is young. In the pic with the hen, she is almost a large as he is. His comb is a mess, but I wish my boys was that good!. It's nothing to be concerned with really, considering the good points he has. Nice tight feathering and pretty good balance for a young bird. Mine do a lot of maturing in the last months of their first year,and I expect this guy will too. He would be a keeper in most any flock, good bird.....stan

Clearly something that needs to be sent to all municipalities, especially those that have ordinances against chickens![]()
