This is Antonio at the same age as his sons. His back was longer but his tail came up. You can see where the young cockerels get their mass.View attachment 1381716 View attachment 1381718

Love his shorter shanks too. His mass is incredible. I bet he made some great females.

They both look like cockerels to me. More like Bob and Jerry. But they're looking good for their age.

Here are some updated pics of my best pullet Frances from my fall hatch (line A) as she has gotten a little older. Pardon her disheveled feathers, I think she is Griffin's first lady. Her back is nice and long, and her tail angle is staying good as she has been laying for a while now so I will be using her as a breeder. I worry her tail is a little on the pinched side as it isnt as open like a pyramid when viewed from the back. But I can mate her to a nice wide open tailed male and I think she will throw nice offspring. I think I am going to single mate her to Maximus. Maximus is built like a tank and his tail is nice and open from the back.
