Could be the way photo was taken but bird in Pic 2 looks a bit flatheaded? Same with BH Cock in Pic 3....but could just be the way the photo angle was shot..

Thanks for that Craig, vettepilot, & Laureen. Its funny you should mention that Craig ive noticed my BH cock's tail is longer after this moult. Also the YH hen in pic 5 head has cleaned up a lot this time around even though she hasn't quite finished her moult. Cheers :thumbup:
