Larkwell Valley (2023)

Smutt has really grown into his body. Can't wait to put him with the white hen and Java when they're done brooding.

The girls don't seem to mind him either compared to the rougher males. He's not a fan of Bowie though

Here's Burt, Mrs. Reynolds and Hamilton's son from last fall.

Odysseus was in a show off mood today

Unnamed white pheonix. Very, very late bloomer. Haven't decided if he's staying or not

 

[JacinLarkwell]

2 extra males. One will stay as back up for my main male and the other will be culled.
Thinking this one v will be culled

And this one v will stay. The hens seem to prefer him more. I wish his size was better though. Longer hackles though than the other

He's my favorite rooster you have. Hands down.

Agreed. His crazy hair is on a whole other planet at this point

Do you prefer shorter hackles?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Do you prefer shorter hackles?

No, not for my birds. I'm unsure if there is a specific length in the standard though. T
The bird with longer hackles was supposed to be saved for a GHF project, but because of my flock, I didn't bring in those birds
