Having problems with message search?
Thank you both for the comments. I can see these cockerels
were a bit tall and the necks thin. There were 4 out of 5 cockerels with the
same characteristics (plus the big comb and prominent wattles). The father has
none of these features which makes me wonder if 4 of the cockerels came from
the same hen who has some of the features albeit to a minor extent. This was a
first time at breeding and next time round I will start to pair the birds.

Hi,
your birds are too high, you have to breed d'Uccle lower and with
a "bull neck". You can compare with my rooster on the last photo, I
like his shape but he has a too large comb too.
