Thats a beautiful bird. Thanks for the info

Ok got another question. I've been reading the standard, and trying to make sense of it all. I know I'm asking dumb questions, so please excuse me. Matt, would the bird that is your avatar be considered to have a low tail set? I know he has won almost everything, and i wish i had one that...

It is not only the amount of points but the structure of the comb.  His comb is irregular in shape and progression.  The points should start out with the first one being the shortest and progressing to the last one being the tallest and it should be uniformed in it's progression.  It should also...

5. But have been told its only 1/2 point deduction for having 6 so that cant be what everyone is talking about, is it?

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Help me out with something. What should i be looking for in the comb?

Opinions please.

I've got a quad for sale right now near Laurel MS

We just dropped by to read the comments

Wonder if his toes have been broken.

Got a couple more pics of the young cockerel today. Letting him out of the run made him want to pose a little better anyway. Ha

Can a bird's tail carriage improve with age? As i said, he is still relatively young and has improved a lot over the past several weeks. Even if it doesn't it will just be something i will have to work towards from him since he is all i have to get started with. Ha

It helps very much, and is greatly appreciated

But of course the tail is still of concern.

Here is a photo of the same k from a couple of months ago. Out in the sun the color was more true

The legs are there. They just didnt show up for some reason. My birds tail angle is definitely low. Do they come up with age? He is between 8 and 9 months

Legs are bright yellow with horn color down the front. Not sure why it doesn't show up in photos well. Taken with phone

Sorry for the picture quality, or lack thereof. Ha

Mr. Fred. You obviously have an eye for these birds. Id love an honest critique of my birds if you dont mind. I just wanna be sure about what i need to be trying to achieve and the easiest way i know to learn is by someone pointing out the shortcomings of something i can look at on a day to day...

Oh and to clarify Matt i wasn't implying that anything was wrong or lacking in your line of birds, To my untrained eye they look as good or better than any ive seen. I'm just getting started and definitely dont need anything as of yet. Was mostly just making a joke that it seems that the...

Maybe i dont. I dunno, when i was much younger we bred game chickens, lots of game chickens. We would line breed of course, but after a few generations the birds seemed to not be as good as generations before. Bringing in a new line, as long as it was a good line, positively affected size and...
