He might, I would have to look closer at that. At the moment, I am not culling for that alone, since it is not a DQ, but all things being equal, I'd take the one without that.
He looks to be holding his wings funny or is he getting new ones in? Also on the 3rd picture from the bottom it looks like there are some white streaks on his chest closer to his throat- or is that just the way the picture shows?
I like the color on all your cockerels.
Check out the tail on #1, it seems to be listing off to the left.
#2 looks like he has those dang thumbprints in his comb, that is just a fault. I really don't like the wrinkling in the comb on #3, down by his beak, but I like his color. Check out the blade on the comb of your free ranger--is that a sprig towards the bottom of the blade? His comb also leans, other than that I like him.
Everybody must be taking the day off, I haven't had much feedback on mine, either. Hope Don or others get back online this evening, I'd like to know whether or not to include #17 or #48 of mine with the butcher run tomorrow.
Hi Pinkchick,
The only person I know working with Columbian Marans ( same coloring as Light Sussex) is paintedbones. Lynnrae Troples in Pennsylvania. She been working wiht them for about 7 years now, at least. She has an art gallery page called Painted Bones. I think she can also be reached thru http://www.hpbaa.com website. Maybe others are also working on them but she is the only one I know of.
Best,
Karen

Thanks!
Everyone must be outside, now that it's back to normal temperatures!
I'll go check them out, but I know for certain there are no sprigs and there were no wry tails (but I'll check again!)
- I noticed that the free ranger has some sort of wrinkle in the bottom of the blade, but no sprigs - ?? -
That's a new one for me!
#3 doesn't have a twist in the comb, so I don't know what the wrinkles are...??
Does it mean anything or is it just aesthetic?
