@RedBank
both Tony2 and a Black hen have a great tail .

Tony2 is great cockerel .love every thing about him . his comb need a little tuning that all .
long tilted back
great .great tail shape/angle /length

if you mate him to that Black hen .you ll have a lot chicks with a great tail .
don t under estimate the Black hen .she has a lot to offer .her eyes are gorgeous .

don t cull the black hen . I name her Zorretta .

The black hen IS alright. She just always looks like she is molting. Combs and tails are my problems! Tony2 with Zorretta and Sister soon. I have 7 more cockerels right behind him. We will choose 1 or 2 of them in the Spring/Summer that is why I asked if I need to keep Antonio.
