#7 ?
I got myself so confused trying to keep all the photos organized that I have no idea who I'm missing.

He will show up eventually.
I don't know who I missed.

Haha . Good sign when you have many to select from.

You did well my dear friend. Big progress no more v shape . Short back . High Tail and narrow body type.
It is joy to look at them.

He need to go for sure

I meant to say #4.
He is just very narrow with a high tail.

I also noticed #5 was square when I took the pictures.

So I am safe to get rid of both of them.

Is this guy too square? He is a year old now and I still like him, mostly. His wing is drooping because he's thinking about sunning. He nearly flopped on his side after this to enjoy a good sun bath.

cockerel #6 .best photos of him ;

High Class cockerel . different style to cockerel #1 , we need genetic diversity .he has all the good trait .his comb need more points ,that Ok .
what I like about him he is =
long and chunky ,his back is wide all the way through from the shoulder to the tail .
very deep and long chest ,great to produce meat birds .
sublime tail .I think it is the best one in all cockerels .
nice straight legs well colored and feathered .well spaced out too .
he need more color but he is young ,I ll wait to see in few months time .
I realy like him a lot .true marans body type .brick like .

cockerel #3

love the length of his body not sure wet about the width . longer tail too .
love his head and comb ,best comb
he look to be great walker .
we need to give him more time .let him fill up and color up too .
I like him .
is he the one you said he has a lot white underfluff ?
he is in the same class as Cockerel #1 and #6 but he is different maybe he need time to catch up .
