He got in a fight through the fence with Sunshine, my big EE rooster. I think it was his first fight ever! He got bored and left after he managed to bloody his comb up.

Sunshine was sure fit to be tied about it. He wanted out to really show the new guy who was boss!

It is a local show and they will be shown as Jr. birds. My son is going to show them, and some other chickens too. I am going to put the pigeons under my name.

They aren't bad at all. The missing point is a minor problem [1 point cut] - his comb is a bit big & course but again not bad. Females have well defined combs which is good. If you breed them be especially careful about keeping females with bad combs-very hard to breed out. As to the female's lopped comb-again a very minor consideration.
Females type looks very good-if the male spread his tail more he'd look longer but again not bad.
This is my favorite breed-I've bred them for over 20 years & hatched about 250 this year. Your birds are plenty good enough to start with. Good luck with them.

Nice birds. I think you would do well at a show.

That is so nice to read! Thank you so much! I am glad I got them. I hope I will be able to breed some nice ones starting with this trio.

How are your RIR bantams doing? How are the eggs? Any recent pics?

 

[L&Schickens]

They are doing fine, not laying and just haning out.
No new pictures latly. They do get to come out every day, but I have not taken any pictures of them recently.
