When in doubt, go to the ABA website. They have tons of pictures of bantams from different breeders. There you can compare color and type with your own birds!

you can see his lacing a lot better and he is laced up nice the only magor thing is his carage is to long is should rool off a lot sooner insted of sticking out so far where do you plan on showing him at ?? 4H , county fair,stait fair , or a ABA/APA show he would have a better chance of placing in a county fair and would be ok in 4H he is not perfeced but i would use him for breeding and then only keep the good ones thanks

Yeah I was thinking the county fair, thanks for the info Joe

You might look up the standard and compare your rooster to it. I know you said he's young so he may mature better but in some ways, what you see is what you get so things like feathers on toes and no vulture hocks, and the tail/cushion are not going to be so different when he's more mature.

Here is my rooster, a huge pet and he's not show quality either but I love him to pieces. There has to be a place for all those that are not show quality

either on the table for dinner or my back yard as a pet.
