Just my two cents...but I consider all my birds in project stage right now. So, if you have a better rooster, then the use the better one. If not, then this guy is your breeder. Health, shape, then color are the areas in order of importance to me. If you're asking if he's a carrier of cream, then only his offspring can tell you that best wishes!A question for the folks who know a bit about genetics...I have a 'baby roo', 15weeks old and larger than all my other FL girls including Marans, Orps, and a GLW... He also has some flaws...to much orange and in general a bit darker in color (not as cream as you'd want)...so at what point do his 'flaws' for show limit his use as a breeder...pic below...(and he's more bronze and darker than the pic reveals)
