we are not breeding to please peoples .we are breeding to SOP standard .
SOP call for uniform rich red copper from the hackle to the back and lancets . NO Mahogany neither gold .
Mahogany part will be the the shoulder marking .
Ace has a perfect copper and body pattern .

All have high tails, overfeathered legs.
So far shoulder coloring isnt coming in. Not sure what to think about them at the moment....

they are at the age off been all over the place . big birds need time to fill up .
oe thing for sure the 2 cockerels are not going to have a complete body pattern , they are on the dark side . they tails are very long and high .
give them time to mature and see how they do ,

good thing is ,you have line #2 with my 2 favorite correct pullets .
