@LilJoe

why you want to work with a green legged cockerel when you have this guy .

look at his feet .slate colored with a pinkish hint . gorgeous

I really like him a lot

Hatched this little girl today. She has a brown spot on her head. I remember Chooks man saying that was a good sign.

I also managed to put a ring on another rooster. Here is "Blue". Took video because it was hard taking pictures of him.

Any of these 2 keepers or should I keep looking?

lovely hatch down . not a lot of white . few spot on her face that alright . better if there is none . but one step at the time .
brown dot on the head is a sign of purity . true marans

she have a lighter feet for a girl .not dark all the way through like we see most of the time . great trait .she ll pass it to her son s .

I m afraid to say the feet on this cockerel are not straight . bent inward .

you have 2 cockerels I spotted ( you missed ) I like very much and seem correct to me . better legs and better tail .
the 2 cockerel I m talking about where next to the blue box at the end of the video . one is bigger and the second is smaller with a gorgeous tail .
need to see photos of them please .
photos from the front and the back ,we need to see the straightness of they legs .very ,very important .

@LilJoe .

love the straightness of your pullets legs .well spaced too .
I like the purity of under fluff . pure black .

LEGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT > THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF ANY GREAT BODY TYPE .
