Love his stance and body type . Stunning tail . His shoulder look to have less color or just my phone . I ll wait to see him on my laptop this evening . I really like him.

I will try and get a better picture tomorrow. I like him better also! He did challenge me a couple times. Throwing a bucket of water at him worked like a charm. Of course they are quick and it misses them but it scares them. He doesn't even come into the house with me anymore. I have done that with the last 3 roosters and it worked ever time! I wished I learned this trick a long time ago! I went out after dark and checked them to see if they had lice and they where good. Next step is worming them.

He look good not as good as the first one . This guy seem to have better shoulder marking. .
I ll comment on him later . With a phone the photos are smaller .

I think he does have more color but I still like the other one better.

Thank you Chooksman! I hope to eliminate the white in this line. I went out last night and looked for lice and got a good look at the base of his tail feathers so far he is good! The under fluff there looks pretty good too. Which is a big deal to me. I am happy at this point even just less white. I didn't think to lift his hackle feathers and check. Maybe tonight I will take a look.

Good I won't worry about him maybe not being fertile. I will probably cull him when my chicks get older.
