Ok, I'll get the party started with a pic. This is "Blue Butt", not yet 5 months old! He is HUGE!! He also has a huge TUDE! Thankfully, he is so chunky, I can hear him clomping up behind me!

Will have to get better pics of him, he does not like to pose. Hate the comb, and he has one bent toe (incubation?), but his chunky bod is to die for, at least to me!

looks like he is playing hide and seek and since you found him, he's giving you the stink eye pose! Nice size to him. We have some 5 month old cockerals with "tude" in fact the 1 just volunteered to get into the crockpot- ripped some skin open on my hand this am when I was checking waters- good thing the kids weren't doing that job. Told DH that if I'd have more time this am, he would have been gone- but we're both leaving for work so it's on the to do list. Have a good one!

He's lovely...I vote splash birchen. He should give you something to work with for sure. If it were me I'd put him on some girls that are black or blue solids if possible and test mate them

do you have any girls from that same bloodline? If you do...using them will improve your chances of seeing whether there is birchen or not in him.

I agree he looks bircheny to me too. How about using pure black or pure blues (not blue copper) with him. Would that also help dilute the gold further?
He's pretty!!
