How tall are your pens?

Mine double as a condo/breeding pen and are 4' x 6'. Some on here use 4' x 4'.

This hens strain is from Colorado from Paul Gingrich via Illinois.The first rooster came from Matt via Sgribble and the second young roo is also from Paul.

You can bring all those back if you are tired of them.....LOL

Ok I want a lesson on tails and backs and which are better and what to look for.I am going to post a pic of three off my hens from the top since Bob told me a little about one of my hens.Anyone chime in that knows which is better and what to breed toward.Any pictures would be helpful!

Bring em back nothing...I'm coming to get more!!!!!

Just on backs ALONE I would place them one two three just like they are.
See how the last one is shaped more like a slice of pie and tapers in?

I had the same thought.I learn something everyday.Im glad you got me to take those pics of their backs.I really have a better idea now.Now to just get a better idea about tail angle and length.I have an idea about them but still not completely sure what to look for.
