Jacob, This is the type and color BC male I used in my breeding program. I can not really fault him. I would not breed female with very high tails to him though as then you would get a lot of high tail young. If you can just pick your best 1-2-3- females and single mate so you know where the young are from. The male is very nice type though, too bad there are not more around like him.

The APA does not want us to use the pictures. I have some old poultry books with pictures like this saying they belong to the department of Agriculture. I believe some of the APA pictures were copied from somewhere. I planned on giving the SOP reference point to look at the pictures. We should be able to get actual Chickens with these faults if we work at, in the past 6 months I have seen most of them here on the forum.
I understand the APA stance on the SOPs as it is their main source of funding for the Club.

That's what I thought. Just checking, would be so much easier!

A lot of the pics in the SOP show multi faults on the same pic or exagerated faults. Real life pics - - especially of funky combs AND vulture hocks might be a good thing ( IMHO).
That one pic that pic has of a BABY carantion comb starting to form at 3 or 4 weeks is PRICELESS. I know before this issue I NEVER thought to so throughly examine the combs at such an early age.
Now, I am using the ZOOM feature on my camera to examine the combs. Just Crazy the things we see in our own birds OR on this thread. VULTURE hocks, who would of thought that was gonna be an issue on marans?

I actually used the zoom on my own camera to examine that short toe. Did get a decent picture too that I'll post.

Thanks... you think maybe some kind of EE??
That would be my quess.
I grew out some cockerels that looked just like this guy did, except mine didn't have yellowish legs.....they were a cross from my Olive Egger projects and they were the cockerels that didn't end up with the peacomb.
