She’s beautiful, I’m no expert, but I love everything about her!

Rectangle? Good type?

Square? Very high tail and neck all the time.View attachment 3456215

Hmm, this one looks square to me but again I’m only just trying to train my eye. Maybe it’s the high tail, it certainly makes her back look shorter.

I don't know why I have such a hard time telling. Sometimes it's obvious but mostly not.

I’m not sure if you can see better with these photos but I got some more today. Didn’t get a good shot of her other side she’s in motion, my phone died before I could get a better one. Let me know if these shots are better. If not I’ll bring her inside and try to get shots from there, though I’m not sure if she’ll relax for photos if I bring her in the house! Lol!

She is not square she actually have a good long body but her chest need more depth plus her tail is longer.

Last night I took JR out of the pen so I could go in and photograph this morning. I can't wait to get rid of him. He has a bad attitude.

These are the 10 hens cockerel line.
I have a very hard time with square and rectangle body types but it's easier to see in photos.

Square?

Very hard to tell because the photo is in angle . What I see is a long back but less developed chest ( she need more depth to the chest area)

This hen look like she has long back , gorgeous tail. Well developed rear( abdomen ) good head . Her chest is not deep make look like she has triangle V shape body type.

Yes. The angle is off.
I will get a better photo. She is small and narrow but is just turning 1 year old.

If she has a narrow body type than she is not good for us .
We are looking for wider / longer and deeper body type .
