Thank you all for the comments. He is a handsome guy in my eye. BUT I wasn't looking for perfection. I see things that I wish were better but I'm hoping to put him in with some of my really good girls this fall. I used his brother for this year early chicks. He had less and lower set tail. I have 31 eggs in the bator right now so I might end up with something far better then this guy. Who knows. Only time will tell.
Yes Penny, this is one of my Nelson boys and oh my is he a love bug. ha,ha,ha I don't know if we are supposed to describe the cock birds by that name. lol

Just a few of my own thoughts. First I want to say that the darker pictures are his real color. The ones that are more red is where the flash bleached out the dark mahogany.
Judging my own boy, I would like his tail to be less full and a little lower set, he does have a 5 point comb, I like the length of his wattles, I would like just a little more length to his back. Usually, he shows a pretty nice brick shape. His eye is a nice red/orange color, his beak is horn color, his legs are a nice yellow/orange with the horn down the front and on the toes. OH, the width of his back is very little if any wedge to it.
His tail in my opinion looks like some ladies hair when they get to much fresh perm. lol Oh my, maybe I shouldn't have said that with all the ladies on here. lol
