IIt is that way on the final round. If we are not struggling at all, considering the final birds, we are not thinking.My situation is, I have no mentor and I really don't know the breed as well as I'd like. So I wil have to just do the best I can and select the ones that seem to appear nearest the standard, since I do plan to keep a pure line of Chanteclers.
It also depend on the birds.
What I always end up sorting through is not who is best, but who has what that is useful. I intend all points to be represented, though it is not in a single bird.
Post good profile shots, and I would try to help. At least color is not a consideration. That is a plus.
