Thanks WV, quite a few extra roosters so it's competitive in the yard.

I know the feeling

At what age do you start culling your birds?

 

[Westguy]

usually when they are fully feathered. you start seeing longer backs, high chests, different faults that separate the keepers from the cull birds.

Thank you for your response. This is pretty much what I was thinking.

I think they are beautiful. I do wish my one and only pullet looked as good.

I have one hen and 3 pullets that look just like yours

Thanks. It takes a lot effort and culling to get them to this stage. I hope to show a few pullets at the end of the month at the upcoming APA National in Modesto.

Good luck! I've four young birds I hatched from supposed show birds. One of the roosters looks pretty good, but all have longer legs and my one pullet is too long backed.
