Ok going by what i think SOP is i believe this is my prettiest Cockerel.

He is currently 8 weeks.
He has 6 points though it maybe sawtoothed?


He has no white and a pretty blue sheen


And yellow feet


He is my second heaviest. The heaviest has a white feather and is not nearly as pretty
Am i correct that ihis one is not bad? I am not in it to show, i am just looking for a good healthy bird to breed. I will upgrade eventually.

A few more pictures would help. Standing with head up not moving.

At that age don't worry about weight, look for type and frame. Long and wide, flat back deep keel. Traits like number of points on the comb are secondary to type. If you are looking for a good starting point, Type first. Now having everything else is great, and important, but not as important as type.

There is consistency in my post. Type!!!!

What Framec said, April Rob, 'Rob's Triple P Farm Perky Poultry of Pennsylvania'.
Might have a cockerel to get rid of.

Candled the first time on this batch. 11 wiggling, 6 I can't see through the shell and 4 no grows. Sensor is taped so it cannot drop below the eggs this round!

Need help folks. I have two Jerseys mixed in with my other birds. They were straight run when I grabbed them. I have an obvious rooster(Paul) as you can see below on top. His counter part is Sir Clucks Alot who until 2 weeks ago I was convinced was a hen only because how different she/he was from Paul shown in the bottom pic. Now he/she is attempting to crow, which I know is a strong one in their family and hens can give it a go just as easy as a rooster. I've raise chickens since I was 7 and I've never been this stumped before. Clucks shows just as many hen qualities(and I've been testing) as rooster and Im Freaking lost as to what it is. They were both hatched beginning of march of 2016 and are very healthy. Paul on top(100% positive a male) and Clucks is on the bottom (50/50). I already have a home for Clucks to keep an eye on 20 other hens if he/she has the goods, just looking for opinions. Thanks guys.
