proportionate to size of body. Round profile rising
sharply with a forward sweep perfectly round to the back
of the head, then merging to the neck and full at the
cheeks
Eye
(2 pts.):
Bold and centrally placed, iris pearl white, pupil black
and small as possible.
Eye Cere
(1 pts.): Small and thread-like. Close feathered
around beak and same color as beak..
Beak
(10 pts.): Close fitting mandibles wide at base
and thick in profile giving a blunt, boxed effect not
coming to a sharp point, both mandibles to be of equal
thickness and substance. Beak set straight so if a line
were drawn it would pass through the eye cere at the
bottom of the eye.
Wattle
(2 pts.): Small, neat, fine in texture and white
in color. Close fitting so as to appear an integral part
of the beak rather than set upon it.
NECK (5 pts.): Broad at base, tapering slightly
to the throat, slightly arched and of medium size.
Body

medium size. Chest broad, deep and well-rounded, carried
forward. Appearance is one of cobbiness with well
rounded contours.
Flights and Tail (3 pts.): Flights tightly
folded, broad and short coverts closing neatly over the
rump. Tail short, tightly folded and slightly tapering,
allowing the flights to meet ½” from the end of the
tail. There should be 12 main tail feathers.
Feather Quality
(10 pts.): Fine, smooth and soft with good
breadth. Profuse and reasonably loose on head and neck
to give fullness, becoming closer and tighter fitting on
body, wings and tail.
Legs(2 pts.):
Stout, set well apart and of medium length. Shanks and
feet to be completely covered by feathers.
Muffs
(15 pts.): Profuse, the outer edge forming a
half circle and meeting the hocks without a break. Five
to six inches to be the desired length. Grouse legs to
be passed by judge.
Hocks
(4 pts.): Profusely feathered points just
clearing the ground.
