Head
(5 pts.): xSmall to medium head with refined shape. Gracefully rising curve, but no frontal bulge. Rounded rather than angular with slight flatness permitted on top.

Toe Nails (5 pts.): Flesh colored.

Neck (5 pts.): Medium short, slightly tapered. Broad at shoulder, narrower at head. Tight and clean in front, no gullet

Beak and Wattle (5 pts.): Beak should be flesh colored. Wattle is smooth and flesh colored.

Legs (2 pts.): Short, red, free of feathers. Fairly wide set, clean and bright.

Condition (15 pts.): Must be in perfect health, free from any deformity and in a generally hard and firm condition. Vigorous, clean and alert. Close and perfect in feathering. Firmly muscled. Light in weight for size.

Color, Markings and Pattern (20 pts.): In this sporting breed, less importance is attached to color in this category. Head white with a line in separation around neck running in a clean unbroken line 1/8" to 3/16" below eye and beak, and rising with a gradual curve to back of skull; the neck to breast bone, shoulders, back, and inner (secondary) flights to be colored; the ten outer (primary) flights on both sides to be white; also the tail and under part of the body from the breast bone and thighs; more than 12 white flights on either side, or less than seven to disqualify baldheads for competition in this class.

Wings (5 pts.): Held close to body and above tail. Wing butts should be covered and well tucked in at shoulders. Feathers should roll over back without "sail".

Expression (5 pts.): Smartness, eagerness, but not wildness should be dominant with no suggestion of dull lack of interest.
