The splash one and the blue copper are gorgeous!

@wrathsfarm It’s a shame both their tails crept up a bit, they were good and low as cockerels. Y/O has a much neater tail, G/W is scruffy.

Y/O has a much better comb, it is high and does not touch the nape. His colour looks a bit better too, but I’m confused why he has back shoulders. He also looks like his body is bigger and deeper.

Y/O takes his sire’s best features and slightly improved all his faults. A great result.

I’m less convinced about G/W, but maybe more photos will show him in a better perspective.

None of them like their pic taken.

What happened to the chest of the orang/yellow one, does he always look/stand like this?
Nice comb and wattles though.

I took a few more pics. Hopefully they help.

He's skittish and lowest in order. Hopefully the other pics I took were more relaxed and look a little better.

Did you deworm him recently? At only 9 month old he might fill out a bit more.
