Please critique my Black Sumatra..

Here they are. They were given to me so I don't expect rave reviews but would like to get a better idea of what the pair or their offsping may be worth( I am new to the breed, can you tell

This is a pic from a couple months ago ages 6 months hen, 7 month roo. Roo is just starting to get two sets of spurs. They both have yellow soles to their feet(people ask that but I don't know if that is a good or bad thing, what does that mean anyways?)

She recently started laying,
Hen

Handsome(and gentle) Roo

Eh, the roos ok but the hens tail is to high. The roos looks a bit tall in the chest and he looks a little toothick. The hen is PQ and the roo is BQ, I have seen worse.

Cute roo! But he is a bit too tall in the chest, the hen's tail is too high up. Not really SQ, but pretty nonetheless. Yellow foot soles are very desirable, as are multiple spurs and black faces.

taraann81--

Where did you get them from?
Are you sure the hen is a Sumatra?
Can you post a bigger pic? (of the hen)

A friend had them, not sure where she bought them from. She no longer wanted them as she wanted only dual purpose breeds. So she gave them to me. I will take and posts some more pics tomorrow. He was just finishing a crow in that pic and doesn't usually stand quite so upright. But regardless I think they are pretty and like looking at them in our yard.

Thanks everyone, its always nice to learn more about our birds!
