whew.. here ya go ThePoint
Number 5 I am not liking this to fit into the standard as his conformation isnt fantastick.. He has a good copper balance however his feathers on the undercoating are mousy, however this could improve with age Overall a better bird than number 1 and 2 but I still prefer 3 to this one and even number 4 has a better conformation overall. I really am not fond of the eye on this bird and that is really important to me as it passes to the offspring. So this one has too many things against it though it has great copper balance in general.
Number 6.. Well you were holding out This bird has a GREAT outline..I love the legs and feathering He has moved my choice to the number one spot putting the other second choice the number 3 bird and the number 3 choice the number 4 bird I like his comb, his eyes, his horn color, shanks, ear coverts COPPER BALANCE The amount of melaniser in this bird is VERY VERY GOOD I would like to see how wide and deep this bird gets.. The picture from the front makes him look wisp but I suspect that is not the case here as the side picture shows more width in the back time will tell for sure but this is a hands down top choice.
Number 7 I would hold this one in reserve and wait to see what happens..This bird could take the place of my number 2 pick at a later time. For now I dont think I could give him fair assessment He would be one to watch.. He possess a wide back his tail has yet to develop so I would want to see him again He is narrow His copper balance is EXCELLENT and I may even be able to overlook the fleck in his correctly colored eye I do not however know if I could overlook the white feathers in the feet in a finished bird. It would depend largely on the quality of the hens.
Number 8 I would reject if I had correctly colored hens but would retain if my hens lacked proper coloring He has a lot to offer in stature and general shape he has the most attractive head of the group with a nice long skull I have trouble liking his eye for the flecking He has correctly colored covert on the ears good horn, amazing comb.
Overall a very consistent pen of cockerels.. Thanks so much this grouping appears to be all from the same breeder who has done a nice job. You have a good one or two out of the group to work with. I didnt see anything in this last group that would make me cry stewpot if this was all I had to work with Kudos to the breeder I really like number 6 for my top pick and am on the rail with a couple others I would hold them as long as I could even Robin Red breast here The hens will dictate the choices.. This group of 4 had pretty consistent confirmation.
