Hard time deciding which Blue Orp Cockerel to keep

[BamaChicken]

These boys are 7 and 8 months old and I have four I am waiting to choose from.

My favorite, but a little white bleed through on the tail feathers. It may moult out?

Next in line for fav

This black one I am keeping

Handsome roos you have there! They are all "keepers"!_ sell the ones you're not especially fond of.
Someone needs a roo(hint, hint!)Mine were all snatched away.

I like the head on the front one better than the one in the back. But, I usually lean more towards heavy brows anyway....

 

[BamaChicken]

Yes he is pretty, but I dont' think his wings are as tight as the others. Decisions , decisions.

 

[DawnSuiter]

I vote for

the difference between him & your "fav" being the wattles & length of the head.

Are you going for English Standards here?

 

[BamaChicken]

Thanks Dawn. He is my next choice. I think I will have to give them a few more months to know for sure. Of course you know the Standards I like like but these guys may be a little off..

*coughs* and is thinking about Orps for her pen....

 

[Goose and Fig]

Wow! They are ALL so handsome!
I'd keep whoever has the best temperment, since they all look so great

Julie, you know I can't help you but wanted to say I love the beautiful faces on all those boys. I don't envy you the decision.

The one in the back has better carriage than the one in front. The back roo has a better comb development than the front. The front is a little "light" in body structure than the roo in back.

All in all, all of them are very handsome, beautiful color.

Be sure to look at their top line, which you do not want too much of a slope. Your Black Roo is a very good example of what he should look like!

Other than that, all of them are good contenders for breeding.
