Blue has either a split or slipped wing and should be culled from breeding.

Can you explain what you see here? Are you talking about how the outside feathers are hanging down lower on her right wing?

I like the feathering on these young birds. Some will say they do not want the extra fluff on the lower body but myself I like it when they have some fluff. I do not like it if their feathers are so tight that they look like Gamefowl. I think on some of these issues we have to go more from our person likes as we are the one buying the feed. It is great to have an SOP but we have to still use our own judgement as the final say.

Yes, If that is her normal carriage it is a DQ.

You don't know how excited I am to hear you say that. I really value your opinion, and after my extreme disappointment last year I was really hoping that you would approve of at least some of them

I think He's right also! I hope it's the picture though! I have a chick that I had noticed that also but wasn't sure.

SC, If you have more of the males go ahead and post .

I see what you're saying, Don. I wouldn't know what to call it, but it just doesn't look right.
On the other hand, it looks like she was preening in that picture. Possibly she had it dropped for that?

I may have some from more of a distance. I can take more this weekend. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?
