From these pictures I like the solid Black hen Best #2. She just needs paired with a well colored rooster to bring out the copper in the offspring. She has beautiful dark eggs! Dark eggs put her in first place for me. First hen in second place. I especially love the dark eggs but you have to love the speckled ones too. Who doesn't love speckled eggs.That's something my line needs some work on. I would like to work on darkening my eggs.Updated photos:
1 best overall? Lays an egg that was spotted with almost black flecks. Slightly more oblong egg that is evening out in color now and almost a 7.

2. Lays the darkest egg. Consistently an 8. Her cushioning seems to have flattened out the last few weeks.

overhead of 1 and 2. 2 is slightly wider than 1.

3. Lays a solid 7 And is noticeably wider than the other 2. She has a slightly longer back than I was expecting From a few weeks ago, but still this huge U.

Thank you! It’s so interesting how much they have changed in a few weeks. We are listing our place and moving whenever we sell, so I’m thinking I am going to need to change plans for how long I would be keeping grow-out birds.From these pictures I like the solid Black hen Best #2.

How do I get this guys comb to shrink down in future offspring?
He has a foot injury right now and limping pretty good.
I think he did something silly maybe. I have a ladder to get up to roost bars so I don’t think that is the issue. Now he is trying to start mating with the mature hens and they run him off sometimes so maybe that is it.he is good looking dude .what happen to his feet .is the roost bar too high or he did some thing silly .
comb is Autossome linked .both rooster/hen have some thing to say . dominant genes will show up .
to down size the comb ,the cockerel you have need to be matted to hens with small /correct comb .
his comb is just big but not that bad .so it is a easy fix if you have the right hens .
