Ok, so I'm going to be a total noob and ask this dumb question. I'm curious/bored so....My questoin is: Do Black Tailed Buff Japanese Bantams have the same tails as the other varieties of Japanese Bantams? The Black, White, Black-Tailed White, etc., Japanese roosters all have tails like this.... But I see Buffs with tails like this.... Is it just this one rooster with the short tail? Or do all buffs have tails like these? EDIT: wow, I just realized how stupid this post was. Sorry guys! It's 2 am! :|
I think they are supposed to follow a standard, which would include shape. It should be like that for all color varieties (to the best of my knowledge) The hard part would be in finding a breeder with very nice examples of this
I will put in a pic of my BTB Japanese...He is 4 months old...some time today. He isn't of perfect standard but his tail doesn't do like the one in the pic above.
I think it's just that the second one is standing up, whereas Japs are almost always photographed sitting down as it makes their tail look more striking.
Sooo sorry I didn't add this pic when promised...I just remembered to take my phone back to the coop with me so I could take this pic...This is Terminator my 4mo old Black tailed buff Japanese cockerel .
