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.
