Japanese Bantam Thread!

Thank you I'm really new to mottled! And all so chick 3 has 7 points on its comb should I breed of from him to ??

The only thing I like about # 3 is his coloring and short legs but his back is a bit to long for type and the comb is to small and as you said to many points. He would be one I myself personally wouldn't breed with.

yes that would be a very nice birthday present for her, and the folded waddle is a very bad trait that passes along but he would definetly make a great pet

U know though. My 2 hens have legs just like hers. My rooster has very short legs. I think what makes the legs look so short is where the wings are longer! Did they give her more points for her standing there cause she should cause I cant get mine to stand still for me..lol

She got full possible points for the actual handling and showing the bird. But we didn't study the knowledge based stuff much and she didn't know the answer to most of the judges questions. We spent three months training her.

I am not sure what a 'folded waddle' is?

Do you mean the 'wattle' is floppy and bending over?

I had a black rooster who had a very big comb, and when he was growing his wattle was floppy and lopsided. He was a lovely bird in all other ways. However, when he finally matured his comb grew upright and he looked perfect. I did not have to do anything to straighten it up.

He fathered many chicks and none had this problem. I would let both you roosters mature further before you decide, if you are wanting to breed for top quality shape and form.

That's a weird pic but u can see it its very small because he got pecked and it stayed like that at his age it's easy to fix !!!
