update bird photos on ABC site

Mike Gilbert:
John, what would you think of putting this picture on the website to represent the ideal black female in place of whatever is there now?  I think many of the current pictures could be replaced with better ones that are more representative of the breed.   It could be done over time as good/better photos come in from the shows.

Great idea.  It didn't cross my mind, so let me know when you see better ones to use.

He still lacks that nicely rounded front end, comb could be smaller, and the tail is plenty long.   Not a bad bird at all, but not one I would recommend putting up as representing the breed on the website.

Are you looking at his champion or reserve?  The champ bird is turned so I can't see his front, but his comb looks small to me.  The pics really don't do justice to some of these birds.  Lighting, birds not posing, etc.  They are nice birds.  All the cockerals I saw of Clifs have small combs, smaller than I have ever seen.   Granted, I haven't been around as much, but if his male combs get much smaller, you will have to wait four months to figure out if you have a male or female on your hands!

Mike Gilbert:
  Sharon, this is the black male I was referring to.  The photo of the other black male is much better; I did not even see him at first.  He is quite nice, and very well conditioned.
