These six Sumatra are from chicks I bought in April of this year. There are three blue, two black, and a splash. If you have/had raised(or even judged) Sumatra please let me know what you think of these individuals. All the birds of the same color have a different color band. Also, these pics were took mid-day so the sun was pretty bright.. I know, I know, heavy light isn't ideal, I got impatient..
These are the questions I really want answered, but would still really want to hear your evaluation on the birds.
What sex do you think each one is?
Which Blue is the best blue?(color wise)
The Splash (I'm pretty sure he's a cockerel, due to pointy saddle feathers) Still let me know what you think about him.
The Orange Black-(I think it's a cockerel due to pointy saddle feathers)
The Red Black- (I think she's a pullet, no pointy feathers yet) She seemed very photogenic..
The Orange Blue ( I think it's a er...what do you think? it's got rounded saddle feathers but they're quite long)
The Red Blue (I'm guess pullet.. She's a squirrely thing, she did NOT like being in that box..)
The Blue Blue.
These are my Sumatra babies, let me know what you think. I won't be offended if you point out flaws, that's what I want. The good and the bad.
Thanks a bunch!
