I’m seeing two boys. They all look good to me, from what I saw of the video. The cockerel with less copper has a really promising shade of copper, but both are really nice. At this age I don’t like to make conclusions about the quality, only the obvious physical faults can be seen at this stage. As long as their combs are tidy, legs are white with grey shading, eyes are dark orange, blue or in between, type is developing (it won’t be perfect and full yet) and they are healthy, there is nothing else to worry about at this point.
Would you be able to get any photos? I think when you get the right photos it’s easier to judge the birds correctly, at least for me on my phone screen.
Luckily I just got a good one of him on the flower pot. This is the bigger boy. I made a cockle doodle doo call and he perked up.
He's a good looking boy...
I think you have a lovely cockerel there. I love how iridescent his black is, something I don’t always see in young birds. His copper is nice and bold, hopefully it is more even when it fills out the body. Looks like the shoulders are going to be good and deep red too. The tail looks too high, but it’s very tidy for his age. Hopefully this is part because of his alert stance, and it’s lower when resting. Head good, eye good, comb nice, wattles round. I like his legs: clearly pink but plenty of dark grey on scutes. I believe dark legs often relate to birds being highly melanised, meaning his black is strong. Hopefully this doesn’t restrict his copper too much. Body nice and long, fingers crossed his breast plumps up with age.
Just thought I’d add that I still appreciate the videos, so keep ’em coming. They help bring your chooks to life.
