Right here's goes, after trying to access photobucket and gotten nowhere with it!
Please note: ignore the dates shown in images as the dates weren't set up properly and I couldn't bothered getting it right *but I should really!* And the white Japs are looking dirty because of the old engine oil/kerosene mix where they've, roosted right beneath the interior roof of their new home.
The females definitely are not purebred, their combs are 'terrible' but the tail of the (fizz looking) girl is the best of the two females. I'm not a hundred percent sure of the male but his combs done him a great disservice.
(above) His legs improved tremendously since his arrival (11 days ago), I only treated his legs by smearing vaseline (quite thickly) all over and putting him, and his girls on Ornithon. I was very surprised, when I saw how much his legs has improved vastly! of course they're still ugly looking though and they were treated again after this photo was taken. Notice the missing claws? Would you say its an hereditary issue or old injuries?
(top) His poor tail sickle feathers were so spindly and were much shorter, obviously ruined by parasites.
Today, his 2 long sickle feather has grown, although still spindly but nothing more can be done except to wait until moulting time. His comb flops slightly to one side and is a rather poor looking comb but big.
(top)This is one of my BTW roo (image flipped around to compare both shapes of two roos). The White Jap have more curve to his back/shoulder/neck area than the BTW Jap.
Female 1, with 'turned feathers,' has she got a bit of frizzle on her neck? Heres her left and right-side profiles (below)
This is female number two, quite a 'U' but have tail that reminded me of Leghorns? None of the females' tails are well spread but sticking upright mostly. Very difficult to picture this girl properly as she's the shyest one of the 3. (below)
One of my favourite photos of 4 of my BTW Japs, I love how the female showed loyalty to that roo *
but she was probably more interested in snatching somethingout of his beak!*..(below)
Two photos showed something I rarely see and as much as I don't like birds injurying themselves silly, I was taken aback by the behaviour of a Japanese Rooster, having discovered an intruder in 'his' domain.
*its not even his! lol*
I know roosters fights if given the chance but I've not seen Jap boy having progressed beyond doing the funny shuffling dance with wings spread. He sure took me by the surprise and he was magnificent to watch!!
In one of the photos, I couldn't help but be reminded of a raptor of Jurassic Park movie.
