Kramer - he's tall and kind of dorky looking.

Aw, that's so sweet, thanks for making my day! And Kramer is an excellent suggestion (he kind of does look like him ).

Question for you.,,I have 2 buff boys, each with their faults and strong points. I'm not thrilled with the wing set of either. Do I use one, both or neither? My buff hens are pretty nice, not too worried about them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/7385122/width/200/height/400[/[/QUOTE]

Personally, I like the darker boy. But, he appears to have some smut in his tail that the other one doesn't. I would keep them both, do a test hatch or two with them over both hens and see who makes better offspring. If your hens have nice tight wings, they should balance the boys out :)

Love my silkie, drove 100 miles to get her

Wow who did you get her from I know a few breeders in Florida. And is she buff or partridge I think it's partridge but I can't really tell.

 

[Giggles Chicks]

I got her in Orange County near Orlando. Not sure about color but thanks for the tip. I will do some research
