muddstopper: . . . I know the pic posted was poor quality, but what do you think of that roo at 7 months.

From the picture you posted, I thought he looked as good as you can get, show-worthy. Shanks look thick!​

which cockerel has the best comb?

he is in bad shape right now but i think i would rather keep the cockerel with the best comb

this is the one i was going to keep but i wanted to here what you think about him
I know none of them are great but this is the best i have for now

should i just cull the other two? I plan on getting chicks/eggs from Chris and Dave and i would keep the best cockerel from each of them
thats what I will probably end up doing

I thought about showing, but since i work away from home during the wk, I dont have the time to tame them or prep them as they need to be. While my wife gives them plenty of attention, she sees them more as a food source and not as pets
