Keep on posting their photos.

Is it just the late fall/early winter sun or are we seeing gold tones in these males? I trust it is just the sun.



Not much of a tail, as is epidemic with these BR males, but otherwise, this is a stud.

#117, 6.75 mos. He's the widest. He's also the same cockerel I posted a pic of a few days ago.

This is a cull. His upright body, no length to speak of, plus the skirting on his thighs mean he'd be a goner quick around here, Jill. You've got better K's to keep.

#109, also 6.75 mos.

This guy is a cull. The gold highlights in the other pics are just late light effect, but this guy does have some reddish feather color. Plus his tail is narrow/pinched.

And lastly, here's a late July hatched cockerel. He's a bit young to judge yet (going thru his awkward growth stage) but time will tell:

Don't kill this one too soon. First, he is light colored, which you could use. Second, he's got width between the legs, which I love seeing. He's far too young to know, and sometimes the camera catches them standing funny, but he's rainy day right now in the photos. With his top notch barring thrown into the equation, I'd give give this young fella all the time he needs to prove himself right or wrong.

I vote cull for many reasons.

Yep. He's only here now because he was given to my MIL who wanted a b&w rooster, then changed her mind...lol
