Khabib #2nd = very pround of him self love his dark pattern almost like a Zebra

Samir the #3rd ,smaller but very eligant with a stunning tail

Conan the Splash ,very chunky low to the ground type super wide at the shoulders and back. bad comb

Shamdog ( Shamrock the dog )giant

thank you for posting photo of him here ,I commented on him on the facebook page but I will comment again for this group to see what I m talking about .
love his long rectangular body shape .long ,low to the ground type with a deep chest . great head with a nice comb .long flat back ,good tail at the right angle well colored shanks with minimum feathering ( he could do with more feathering ) well colored shoulder , nice blue plumage not too dark niether light well lacet , good stance .good eyes and wattles .bad thing about him is his copper not uniform dark rich copper but it yellowish ,halo hacle and yellow darkand lancet .
he will be great to breed him to a BC hen with a dark copper ( mahogany type ) ,the best is to breed him to a splash copper or blue copper ( just keep the splash progeny ,
I will breed him just for his stunning body type .

removed Rashad Dark cuckoo rooster from the breeding pen .has enough of his eggs in the bator 3 X 49 eggs I gave him all the chances he need up to him now .
replaced him with Conan The colourfull .gave him 10 hens Blue copper hens most of them do not have copper , ( Rarades, DarkEye, DarkAngel ,HalfComb .Meash , Matanushka and BigSasha ) one White hen WhiteOrchid , BabyCorn ( RedPyle) and one Dark Splash copper lay nice dark egg .very bad comb . tomorrow photos .
I felt very bad for Rashad was a bad day for him in one day he lost his house ( coop) his ladies .and his top spot . found himself with other rooster in a big pens with all the hens cross the road from his old pen ,had a fight and spent all the day by the fence looking at his ladies hanging about with another rooster. I realy like Rashad he is y boy .

I highly dislike facebook as well, it always feels like a drama fest. Too many cooks in the kitchen, there, everyone is an expert.
