Hey Ravyn, what do you think of this splash cockerel?

Ok, serious critique...

Color is exceptional, looks like hackle and saddle match evenly... nice body size so far... watch the tail angle though... 45° is the highest it should be, hens at 40°, so if it goes any higher pair him up with lower tailed girls...

You want more, get some straight on breast shots and back end shots...

Ok. I think I saw some of those on another thread...

This is straight on, but a month ago. He's filled out a lot since then

This is the closest thing I have to a rear shot, and technically this is a totally different rooster. I'm really just posting here so RubyNala can see them. She never calls any more

Yeah, can see that's an older pic... but the base is there... decent width, keel looks a bit prominent, but think that's just that gangly teenager stage... btw, they take the better part of a year to show full potential... That's your leaky blue, yes? Dang, he's got a set of shoulders on him! Reminds me of the one I got rid of... thought he had leakage, but think it was actually sun damage... ended up getting rid of all his offspring too cuz he turned viciously mean... :/

Those leaky feathers break my heart on that blue because he's the biggest, the best personality, and the Alpha

Hard part of culling for SOP... problem with leakage is his cockerels will show it, but his pullets won't but they'll carry it... you can test breed him, but you'll need to have a cockerel pen and grow them out to see what you get...

Nah, he will be king of the Olive Eggers. I'm happy with the splash and the black, the black's size just doesn't show in pictures.
Oh yeah, I forgot I'm on the hatching thread. I go into lockdown Thursday with 17 EEs and 7 BCM

Next time you take pics, focus on your black... I'd really like to see clearer pics of him...

Ah, hatching... good luck! I got some hatching now...
