how many? Pictures are good too?

Vicki, I got pics .... should I PM them or email you?
I'm waiting for Kim too! I just got home and this is the first place I checked to see if there was an update!!!!

I don't mind whichever you use... if loading photos on byc is easy for ya, just PM, otherwise email is fine too.
 
If you think I'm letting any of you off easy, think again. I want some dialog about this bird, please. There's only me and as some of you already know I'm pretty green at this, so dialog will help me learn. And please, you don't have to sugar coat a thing.

This is my only BCM (Sept 2011 hatch) rooster and he has been in the bachelor pad for he last couple of months. I lost his first chicks to excessive heat in the brooder, so I don't know how his chicks grow out. I'm disappointed with the white tail and toe feathers. Of course, I'm hoping they will molt out. Looks like he's growing another point off a point on his comb and I'm not sure if the back of it is correct. I'm posting because I haven't posted any pictures of him since I went through the big cockerel cull in the spring. I originally retained two BCM's but the other was mahogany and turned aggressive. I just want someone else to lay eyes on him and comment if you don't mind. I'm not going to collect eggs on him until the weather cools off.

Hello Friends (and others...) just thought that I would chime in to say that it reached 64 here today...looks to be kinda wet for the next few days...There is, however, a wildfire in the scenic Columbia River Gorge that has just taken off in the last few hours. Winds are 25-30mph....

Be safe, Mel!

Enjoy your nice, cool weather as we swelter over here on the east coast!
 
Evening, all!

Hope everyone is staying as cool as possible

So - Don's comment about combs lead me to thinking about furthering my education:

Does anyone have a pic of a split blade?

Also - a pic of a split tail?

I think I have the idea, but I've never seen either in person
I did try to search BYC....
