Looking for some opinions

(1/3) > >>

Sharon Yorks:
I am posting these pictures for Jeff Vance. He would like to get everyone's opinion of these birds.

Clif Redden:
From what I can see, I like the Wheaten cockerel. He has a nice looking tail, nice black chest good leg color and his hackle looks clean in the pic. It's hard to tell anything about his type. It would be best if we had a pic of him standing on the ground. then we could see how he's shaped, how he stands and how he holds his tail. Ok Jeff that being said I'd like to take a closer look, so just put him in a box and send him to me. I'll study him for a couple years and send him back of course I'll let you know what I think about him at that time. :)  (Good feather quality) What are you feeding that rooster? it looks like you gave him a bath in oil.

Mike Gilbert:
I'll just echo Cliff's comments about the wheaten.   Nice bird according to the photos.   The blue wheaten has some issues.   Or is he splash wheaten?  Hard to tell sometimes.   Tail coverts are just not there, red in the breast, tail too high (according to the photo), sparse muffs & beard.   But pictures can sometimes be deceiving.   I would be interested in knowing where the wheaten was sourced from?

Tailfeathers:
Ditto to both Cliff and Mike.  I would not use the BW unless I absolutely had to.  Better to use the W over some BW's and try for another BW cockbird.  Also echo Mike's curiosity.  Where'd these birds come from.  Both have nice clean hackles.

God Bless,

Jeffery and Cheryl Vance:
Thanks Cliff, Mike and Tailfeathers for the compliments on the wheaten cockerel.   Cliff, instead of me shipping him to you just bring me some of those good wheaten pullets and blue wheaten pullets to the nationals, and then I can ship you some good eggs!  Because we know you do a great job hatching!!!!    Mike and Tailfeathers, I picked these up from Barbara Campbell this year.   The blue or ?splash wheaten has changed so many colors since I have had him, not real sure of what exactly he is. but I will keep him until he molts out and see what I have.  I have plenty of room for him.    Keep the comments coming, they are very helpful.  And  Thanks Mrs Sharon for your great help on getting my pics on the forum, you are so much appreciated.
