He looks great.

Often a messy rose comb means heterogeneous for rose comb.

Cute

Ah, interesting, looks like a single comb on the chick... so mom must be hetero for rose comb.

I love that girl, that boy sure looks dark to me. Is your line easy to sex at hatch?

Great dog.

Huh... that is odd. Mine were pretty regular layers, they never stopped laying mid summer.. :confused: I would check for lice and mites etc. Also, how old? Older girls are less productive. Oh... I had Dominiques from Cackle and a couple of different breeders/breeder lines.

Wow! Not acceptable.

As in do females change shape a bit as they mature? Yes. Pullets look different than hens. Do they all tend to grow too much cushion as they mature? No.

My kids and I really like their personalities. The roosters have been a mixed bag. A few bad, some great.

Yep, I agree. You have done a fine job with your birds.

Sorry for your troubles. I hope things work out how you want them to.

:lau I do nothing. Except breed for small wattles and combs

Yep. On the bigger wattles the front edge likes to freeze off.

Yep, I agree and know his wattles are correct as to SOP. I just personally like them as small as possible since I hate it when my birds get frostbite... I have such high humidity....and that with the cold...

I do find that interesting (and a bit of a bummer) that a nice tight comb is not connected (clearly totally different genes) from nice tight wattles. Hard to get both on the same bird, just too many points to select for!

Thanks for sharing the photos. Good to see.

It is harder to get a good show quality bird from a hatchery, but not impossible. My old dom rooster is from a hatchery and he has truly the best temperament. His SOP points aren't too bad. Bad leg color, but good feather color and pattern, excellent body form/shape but a bit too heavy. He...

Oh no... or... I do strongly think that aggressiveness should not be bred, or at least only bred carefully. But I meant that he is not a good choice in regards to stance, form, tail set, leg color, or comb.

Can't remember if you are breeding or not... or just have a backyard flock for fun. He isn't a good choice for breeding, but of course you also have to work with what you have.
