Jan. 22nd NOTE: a customer just reminded me how Perfect 2 prepotency is shown in "making lesser hens look great". That's just another indicator of the excellence I've tried to describe for you below here...

Most important indicator here for you?! ...his blood is down through multiple generations in my polygamous pen. Another way to say it: He breeds not only top performance YB racers, but they in turn reliably breed top performance.
Breeding Highlights only:
This year I cut back to 12 polygamous breeding cocks and Perfect 2's progeny are well represented:
SIRE: The Perfect Cock, elite, stellar Gaby breeder in America.
DAM: The (stunningly beautiful) Ugly Bastard, elite Gaby breeder in America. And another indicator of the genetics at work her in Perfect 2: his maternal gr'dam, Carrie, is (today) considered by many to be the most impactful Gaby Blood to come to America.
Perfect 2 is one of the healthiest breeders ever - in 2017 I closed up the OC loft too tightly and had respiratory in a number of OC's - but not Perfect 2!! His descendents are resilient too.
Perfect 2 is, "perfect" athletic type - small to medium, very well-muscled, great feather, strong beak pull, rich eye, balsam weight - quite frankly, simply "perfect"!
The only thing I ever "compensated" for in matings was to add a little more forearm wing muscle. I prefer what I read years ago about a Euro champion: "...and he had an unusually large wing muscle." Perfect 2's is good to very good - it's just not "Popeye" like I prefer - but as you can tell from his legacy above, he breeds it - easily.
All that above, plus he's a great parent and loft citizen to boot... But I wouldn't let him raise a single baby, if I were you!
...here are pics and ped from 2015 I had on file from when I loaned him out to a friend - he doesn't stand lthat horizontal in the loft - and he still looks and acts like a two yearold.
