Okay, here's what I see.
#1 - tail angle much too high, comb has too many points, lack of shank featheirng. I personally like his coloring, and he has good eye color. He appears to be tall, hopefully he'll fill out more.
#2 - tail angle is better, although it looks a bit short, but again, it's too early to make a determination in that rea. comb has too many points, lack of shank feathering. He has good eye color. He looks the most balanced overall of the 3 to me, but it's very early to tell that. His size appears to be good - he actually looks a bit more filled out to me that #1 (?)
#3 - This guy has the best tail IMO, and he's fairly balanced. His shank feathering is fine. Can't really see his comb that well, eye appears to be good but it's difficult to see in this pic. I like his coloring.
Overall, if these were mine and I absolutely had to make a choice based on these pics, I'd keep #3.
Oh - just looked at your 4-month old - I like him better than the other 3 younger ones. I personally prefer his coloring, and he has a super nice, broad chest (which we can't tell from the 3 younger boys) - his shank feathering is okay, not optimum, but decent, and I think he has 5 points in his comb, and good eye color. His tail may be just a hair high, but that could be because he raised it due to shyness of getting his pic taken or something.
The pullets...I would personally not use. They have too much hackle color for my personal liking, and too much of it. Again, just me, though. Thanks for posting pics!!!
Wynette, If you are referring to the pullets in post # 316, I wish all of my Black Copper were colored in the Hackle this way, sure would save me a lot of head ache trying to get them that way. Only my opinion but think the Hackle is great. Don
And that's what I'm talking about....everyone has a different opinion and preference. Therefore, the more input and feedback the better!
