Serious Faults:

Plump, too small, or horizontally carried body.
Short neck.
Slatey, excessively large, or round globe.
Too widely or narrowly placed, short, X-shaped or too weakly feathered legs.
Too large bib.
Colored breast and belly
White flights or tail feathers.
Poor color, dirty bars, or poor lacing.

A tendency towards darker color of the tip of the beak in reds and yellows is not considered a serious fault at this time.
