Common defects thread

Could someone post photos of vulture hocks vs. good legs in Cochins? This still befuddles me.

Thanks for the pics guys!

This is coming along great. I'll have another picture or two of my own to add later on.

Catwalk- I'll get a picture of some of my chicks who are coming into feather, at about four weeks of age they get severe vulture hocks until their shank feathering grows in further. Basically you upsize that to an adult cochin and voila, that's what they'd look like.

This is so neat! Is there any way it could be made into a sticky???

I don't know what this is called but it must be a defect. Until I hear the right name, I call it basset eyes. Aside from that, he does not have a beefy comb at all, but it looks like Ray Charles cut it out with rounded first grade scissors on a bad day... especially around the back of it.
