">could anyone reccomend the characteristics of bird to breed him with to make his offspring show standard

You need a hen with a wide cere, good directional feather, a longer mask, some good spots, straighter posture, a larger back skull, plus a few other things.

 

As you can see it is not simply put this bird with that.

is he already from show stock as if he is see if you can go back to breeder you got him from and get a related half sister with as dave said the lot as he has not much above the head or directional feathering personally i would buy two good show stock birds not actual show birds and then breed them and maybe him to the hen then their chicks together you may get lucky that way

but if you want to breed show stock for showing you need to get the direction and wight their

as i cant look at his picture again i cant coment on stance but most typey birds as he seems tobe just breed the stance into the off spring so im saying its head and feather ,directional feather and broadness you are needing their most never buy dumpy hens ever what ever you do its way an end before you start

 

id say hes not half bad a better picture in a show cage would help his mask is quiet lengthy its to his shoulders he is missing spots thats not to good doms are ment to have full set yet allowed a odd missing due to pied ness

hes quiet nipped in the head area though but ive used worse with great rezults its up to the background and hen you choose

the biggest solidest one you can make her not to old but not brand new see if you can see any chicks she produce's if they look like her more than cock guess from me is you may be able to work with him but building a line birds takes years you wont see improvement till your 4th gen maybe 5th with out other good show stud birds input into him in his chosen hen

ifthat makes sence
