If I may post more pictures..? lol
I'd like any and all criticism on my blue hen Lila!?
What's good and what's bad?


I realize this is only one picture, I'll take more if anyone would like to see any body parts closer? Do you guys think this one is worth breeding or showing? I would imagine she's definitely a BQ bird? Does not have split wings. She's obviously not her best color at the moment but I'm so glad she's starting to get more "poof" as she gets older!

She is approximately 8 months old now, maybe 7. Not sure.

From the one picture :
Looks to have good foot feathering
Really nice tight proper wings
a nice curve to the chest

Her shade of blue is actually I think is in the 'standard range' - look at other breeds that are blue...they are a medium to darkish blue (but not to be confused with black, which I can't see how anyone could confuse this girl with black - shes definitely a blue)


Color isn't as even as it should be - should be a more even shade across the body, she has the dark head/hackles and lighter body.
Crest and cushion should be fuller The cushion/tail coud just be the fact shes outside and not 'in condition' or hasn't been primped. I have some that from being outside and dirt bathing their tails go 'flat' and to look nice I have to fluff it out for them. lol

I agree shes a breeder worthy bird, but its always hard to tell from a picture. I would not call her SQ, the overall type as I said is lacking, she COULD be show but she wouldn't win against a bird with a larger crest and fuller typier curves overall.
