Ok ya'll, here is a pair I hatched from some breeder eggs. My son would love to show them but I am not educated on the standards for this particular breed. What do you guys think? Thanks for any input!

We'd need to see more than a scrunched up chest view of the birds.

I'd love to see its side profile, mainly.

Already though I can tell you that the female's lacing is not the best. Each feather needs a complete even lacing of splash coloring, not a focused lacing at the tips. The cockerel also displays poor lacing in that it is pointed much like hatchery stock, not a nice oval shape. And last - The cockerel's comb looks okay, but the pullet's comb seems to stop far too soon. A rose comb needs a nice tapering tip on it, not a cut-off appearance. A rosecomb not having a nice tapered tip can lead to a DQ. And, is the cockerel's shanks yellow or pink? That pink hue is another risk of a DQ.

The body looks good so far, but only a side profile can really tell.
 
being that they are not a qualifying coloring, they won't win any more then best of variety. I show mine just so I can get them out there for the judges to see and get their opinion of what I need to work on.
think of it as a learning experience, and not so much to win at this point.
