It is hard to get a good pic of the millie pattern, and actual color preferences come into play. Do you have good OE Type in your birds?

I am not sure. I just got some a few weeks ago and am wanting to know if they are good or not. Don't want to invest too much into them if they are not good stock. I will take some pictures and post to get feedback on them. If they are not good stock, they will still be pets. If good, I want to get into showing them. Thanks

Not the best pics but decent for type demo. these are BB Red th emale exibits too low of wing carriage here but otherwise not a bad bird.

High tail carriage in hen.

Hope those help, size is hard to judge in photos and color get blurred and misinterpreted.

Now these first two are out of the ABA standard, showing a good general idea of type.

These are a few pics I have kept to use somewhat as a guide. They are NOT my birds but are what I feel very good representatives of what an OEGB should look like.

Good post Matt, I didn't have those Pics available to me.

 

[GotGame]

I wish I had those BIRDS available to me,

. Brassy is a Massie bird....you know the blue hen.

Here is another pretty good example of a good type OEGB cockbird. Carl ought to be familiar with this bird.

hey guys! I got to start making cuts, however Im still learning, If I post pictures of my young stuck, can you guys help me pick which ones to keep?

 

[GotGame]

I believe carl will give you an opinion if you ask him specifically, but judgin a bird only by pictures is not a very good way to judge a bird.

Now you know why I only keep Massey Brassy's. they are very nice and the genetic potential is there for even better.
