I am curious about the wry tail...when you are standing directly behind him does his tail lean to the left?

Do you think my rir are heritage or not , they are a litttle over 6 weeks old

RIR are a heritage breed. I believe the question you meant to ask was, "are these standard bred?" ;-)

would you be able to tell me why hes not a good example

Several noticeable problems have been discussed so I won't rehash. But I'll add another thing that jumped out to me was the lack of horn color on the beak and legs.

I have never heard of the fellow. Maybe others have. I checked out his facebook page and from the pictures posted there, the birds look like Standard Rhode Island Reds or Production Reds. That is just what I see.

Those are definitely production reds.
