I may be biased because I think I have a sibling of yours--but I really like this guy- he has a nice neat comb. Like his colour as well. You are lucky to have more than one to chose from. I only have one- so he'd better be good enough.Thought I'd post a picture of my best Buckeye cockerel, he's around 18 weeks old in this picture. It's the same one as I posted on p.363. I only have a choice of 3, so my selection was extremely limited but I like this guy, he's very friendly and personable. I hope his eyes darken a bit, but he does have nice even colouring.
I lost one pullet to a predator- so I only have 4 pullets now and the one cockerel with one younger one coming up. 2 of the pullets are kind of ditzy, they were the super slow feathering ones I believe. The other 2- one is broody on her first set of eggs- and the other has a modified almost single type comb--it's pea, but messy. Both are beautiful though. I turned down a lighter coloured male only because I was afraid he might be too light. I love my guy- he's wicked (a Newfoundland expression for really nice and has a very good personality, good with hens and chicks alike. And doesn't get into fights or pick on others.
