Does my Welsummer Roo meet breed standard?

[Laney3535]

a friend of mine told me he would not be good for show... I think differently he's so gorgeous! My neighbor got him from a breeder and they said welsummer... And my neighbor gave him to me when he was young.... Any advice please?

He's a gorgeous roo, but he does not meet standard for Welsummers, sorry... his legs and feet should be yellow...

Could he be a Black copper maran?? It's been on my mind this whole time

To me, he just doesn't seem big enough to be BCM, either... and missing the feathers down the legs... idk...

He looks like a mix breed to me. I don't think that it is a good idea to show him, as his legs are the wrong color for a Welsummer, his body type is rather long, and the coloring is slightly off.

He looks like a mix to me as well.

I agree he's beautiful, but he's not a pure bred bird. So, no showing for him, but he's great to look at and will probably make beautiful babies if you're so inclined.

Agreed.
