The blade is at the back end of the Comb and will have a horizontal split. In the Sop it shows a picture so you can see what they are talking about. In the 2001 standard it show in on page 17 figure 31. It would help if you can show a picture of the comb.

I have two BC roosters and this is the one I like the best. I don't like the large gap between the blade but has a better tail and form then my other choice. What do you think of him? Out of the 4 blue Copper and two BC they all have some white tipped feathers on feet.



Here is a update picture of my blue Copper. Any thoughts?






A couple of my others but can only see faint copper when light hits them just right. They are very pretty and wonder if i used them with a good copper female? Any and all input would be awsome. I think these guys are about 18 weeks now.

They all look great to me!

These do not have split comb, just points on the blade. Most likely a few point deduction as a fault.I would still try and breed away from this comb though.

What color are the legs on the BC Males ?

Could I get an opinion on this fellow? I've lost track a little, but he's 12-14 weeks old.
Apologies for his comb on a red background. I'll try to get a different side angle.

The only thing I see not to like is his dark color, he may get more Copper as he ages.

Here's a little better view of his comb.

Black/slate

ShanandGem the tails look a bit high not enough of a angle and backs look a bit short which would account for the high tail set. I'm no expert as I'm just learning as well.
