Tail:
Long, closed.
Legs and Feet:
Muffs thick and as long as possible, low standing.
Tail (5 pts.): Carried in line with back. Length
to be in proportion to size. Wedge shape of Giant
Rumbler to govern width. Tail should be 1½ to 2 feathers
wide, not a whip tail. Standing in a natural position
the tail should be carried just above floor. If tail
held more than two inches high (5 cm.) it is a
disqualification. However, the judge must allow the
Giant Rumbler a period of time to settle down as many
Giant Rumblers will drop the tail to the proper position
after they settle down.
Feathering:
Well developed, close fitting.
Colors:
Yellow and red (called "braun" in Germany).
Colors and Markings: The ground color of the
outer feather an ivory color, under color weakly
pigmented. Red or yellow as intense as possible on the
lower neck marking and wing bars. The lower neck marking
is a half moon shape. Approximately 3 centimeters (1 1/6
inch) in width at the center and about twice as long,
sharp, well defined crescent marking, without breaks,
ending at both sides in a point, without running into
the back of the neck. Bars continuous, running parallel
to each other and not too wide. Weak pigmentation on the
underside of the tail feathers and on the inner veins of
the flight feathers is permitted.
ORDER OF EVALUATION: Overall impression – body
strength – ground color – crescent and bar shape and
color – muffs – eye and beak color. |
