Ok.... Here are some pics for HT to critique

After 20 close up shots, I did get some body shots. This boy is a ham. He follows me around and pecks my toes & the camera lens.

He has two wing feathers that have white on their tips...is that ok ? will he lose them at molt ?

ETA:

The biggie pullet

she is a beauty

I just can't capture the iridescent with the camera.

splash hen from another BYCer we will call BC

BLR rooster from BC......... I KNOW he has the wrong comb, this is Rascal ( talked about him a long time ago) he is my back-up rooster for my layers. He is GORGEOUS & super friendly, such a shame. DD LOVES this silly guy.

BLR rooster from a different BYCer, we will cal EH

BLR rooster from EH

BLR or Black laced ? from EH

And I have 1 more that I forgot to get a pic of from yet another BYCer, pretty sure it is a hen.


Any input....comments. I only plan on keeping 1 Blue laced rooster, I personally like the darker red. BUT their legs are long and very yellow is that ok ? Be honest here..

Yeap, he is going to be a big boy!! He still has allot of maturing to do, cross your fingers he is ready by Dec. The white tips will go away, that is just juvi feathers. Can't quite tell from the pics, how many points does he has on his comb?? He is going to change allot over the next few months, you just wait and see.

The pullet is a pretty girl, she probably won't come into herself until she starts to lay.

HT... Here is a great pic of his comb. He is so nosey

Turns out one of my white silkies I hatched this past April is another Roo.

He's in a search of a new home, I think he'll fill out quite nicely and he's of good quality.

You'll have to excuse him, he just got his first bath and he's not happy with me!

I just gave my first chicken bath!!!

she kicked and flapped and carried on!!!

then I just put her under the warm water!! she loved it!! I put her in the back half of the tub and she'd slip slide back under the water!!! I think she was purring!!!
Took her out and towel dried her turned on the hair dryer and she kept turning around so all her parts could get some!!

She is an addict now found her standing by the door trying to come back in!!: cd
