Took a couple pics of this dude also, but he's mostly cold, puffed up and droopy tail. W/B hatched 7/8, 25 wks (son of Raven, who is also the grandmother to w/r boy above)

@wrathsfarm you must be doing something right, I like the look of a lot of these boys. Am I seeing quite restricted colouring in the shoulders?
I need to sleep so I’ll let other people comment for now. I quite like the second one you posted, and the one behind the first one in the fourth picture if him.

I know they're not good pics. I was just getting antsy to take pics of them.
That and I need to move some these off the property.

I've been trying to get proper pics of the boys lately but our weather isn't cooperating. Next week we've got a warmup and I'll get proper overalls of each of the 7 cockerels . I snapped a bunch this afternoon as a preview, and appreciate any comments on what can be seen...good or bad.

I've got 12 BCMs boys total all sired by Kong, with these first 7 I'm selecting down to the best 3 for now. The other 5 are much younger. I didn't take individual pics of each one yet, except this one...mostly group shots of what I'm working with if anyone sees anything that stands out.

This guy here is W/R... hatched 6/19, 28 wks. I have a soft spot for him so grabbed quite a few pics of him. Love his nice copper, but should I be concerned about that tail?
I haven't seen him getting picked on but it looks shredded... one of the roosts does angle into the wall, so maybe he's roosting in that spot where his tail is crammed into the wall. I'll look into this.

Copper not as nice, with a halo, ugly comb and wattles. Nice stance tho and he does carry a nice low tail. Is this feather shafting in the chest?

his chest look good to me just a little copper in there is good . legs good well feathered and colored too , nice spacing . copper color look different under the indoor light ,
he come out good eggs too ,not a good shape but good size and color ,

An interesting egg today. Think it’s from the pullet that’s already been laying the darkest eggs, but a bit blotchier today. Nice shape, better than Chanel’s, likely comes from Loki’s genetics.
