Thank you all SOOO much!!!!!
the reason i wanted my birds critiqued was to see what i should breed in and out of these birds... yes the one hen has green legs. It was raining that day so that is one of the reasons their tails are lowered. These birds HAVE matured much, much more since then. the cockeral has nice round bright white earlobes, slate legs, his tail is still growing because some hen plucked it, but his saddle feathers are around 5 inches or more long, medium sised comb(not sure how many points), and his hackle feathers are around 4 to 5 in long too. The best hen has a nice full tail, slate legs, nice round white earlobes(not laying yet)
thanks again... i really hope i can improve my stock by culling and adding new blood to their genes. If i can do this project and get them up to their standard I would like to show them... but... it will take a long time
