Antietam lieper it looks like you have no need for sound reasoning as for how you care for your birds?

Took this on my BlackBerry Q10. Maybe not the best picture to show him off, but you get the idea.

'Sochi' is my Aussie Pit Game Bantam Rooster. He's got great feather, but I am thinking that maybe his legs are a wee bit too long. His girls have great legs, so, hopefully he throws some great sons.

He still isn't dubbed, obviously. I will get him checked, and if his legs are too long, I won't bother getting him dubbed. Then I'd have to wait for good offspring so I can win some shows (hopefully).

Any Pit breeders?

I dont know specifically about that breed regarding leg length, but I am a fan of long legs.

Cool looking stag! Very orange.

I was worried that in the photo he didn't look as Orange as hour is, because the photo was taken in a dark room. He is really bright bright orange in the day.

Aussie Pit Games don't need a 'short leg', but I am thinking it might need to be shorter than this.
He has beautiful colours, but for an Aussie there is no standard for colour. It doesn't matter what colour your Aussie is.

From the standard I've read on Pit games, I personally would think his legs are about right. It calls for "Medium length" then they also have "Medium length" thighs. He's pretty close I think, I wouldn't call him high stationed.

Here's the standard though:
Male Characteristics

CARRIAGE - Proud, defiant and aggressive looking, with movements quick and graceful, ready for any emergency, vigorous, alert, agile.
HEAD - Powerful, medium in length, skin of face and throat smooth and fine in texture, loose and flexibile at throat but not flabby.
COMB (a) single comb variety - Small, erect, firm, straight and evenly serrated; (b) pea or triple comb variety - small, the center division being slightly higher and longer. Ear-lobes and wattles smooth and close fitting, Dubbing is permitted. Beak Stout and strong at the base, well curved and pointed, the upper and lower mandibles locking together like a vice when closed.
EYES large, bold, fiery and fearless.
NECK - Fair length, strong boned and slightly arched, well developed at junction with body.
BODY - Heart shaped.
BACK fairly short and flat, broad at shoulders, with deltoid muscles well developed but maintaining the shoulder width across the back from thigh to thigh, tapering to a fine stern at set of the tail, the body on top shaped like a flat-iron with full and well rounded sides. Shoulders well braced, high and prominent, without any tendency to hollowness between.
BREAST broad, prominent and full with pectoral muscles strongly developed, curving under sharply to show well defined junctions of the thighs.
BELLY - Compact and tight, free as possible from fluff feathers, with clean run behind from back of thighs to the vent, not full or baggy - this is most important.
WINGS - Fairly long and powerful, wing bows well rounded, wing butts stout and prominent, secondaries and primaries with strong quills, well webbed and folded tightly, the secondaries completely covering the primaries when wings are closed.
TAIL - Medium length, carriage moderately elevated not drooped or squirrel, but to be governed by the character of the fowl.
PLUMAGE - Hackles, true tail, sickles and side-hangers to be of moderate length and fullness according to the character of the fowl, the whole plumage throughout to be hard, sound, resilient, smooth and lustrous.
HANDLING - Body well balanced, hard, firm, yet somewhat light fleshed, corky, mellow and warm, with strong contraction of wings and thighs to body when in hand.
LEGS AND FEET - Neither stilty nor stubby, medium in length to suit the character of the fowl, and so placed as to ensure movements of forced and activity -
THIGHS medium in length, set fairly well apart, well developed and muscular, curved at junction with the body and tapering off to clean bone and sinew immediately above the hock joint to ensure movements of force and activity.
HOCKS slightly bent, but not to such an extent as to give the bird a crouched appearance.
SHANKS & FEET clean, fine and strong boned, medium length, round in front and flat on all sides with wiry tendons showing. Even and close fitting scales.
TOES four, well spread apart, medium length with powerful toe-nails, hind toe carried well back from the leg and nearly flat on the ground, and showing no tendency to duck heel.
SPURS hard, set low on the leg - cutting permitted.
Female Characteristics

The hen of each variety should resemble the male in each essential respect, making due allowance for sexual differences.
Colours And Varieties

Colour: immaterial, Muffs, Tassels and henfeathers are eligible for competition.

Weights

The following system of classification by weight, which is in the tradition of the pit, is that generally approved wherever Australian Pit Game have a strong following.

What else do you think of him compared to the other standards? I feel his comb is too big, but that doesn't really matter since they are generally dubbed. His breasted doesn't look as prominent as it usually is, just due to the angle of the photo. He is great to hold and feels very firm. Contracts legs and wings well, in my opinion.
