Type:
Short, cobby, and well balanced, of medium size
sprightly and upright in carriage. Full wide, well
rounded protruding breast. The legs short and feet
small. The head, bib, tail, and ten primary flights on
each side colored. The shell and the rest of body pure
white and must be entirely free of foul feathers. The
colored feathering to be clean cut, deep and intense and
lustrous in color.
Crest: Shell shaped, high and erect, wide and
thick as possible, continuing equally on both sides
until it meets the head in line with the eyes and beak,
erect and regular in curve. The feathers at the back of
the neck forming a tight and compact mane with absence
of any dark feathers in the lining of the shell.
Bib:
Full, deep, and regular, being the continuation of the
head markings and joining the base of but not extending
up at the back of the shell. No white feathers are to
extend to the rear of the eyes, this being a fault. Also
when viewed from the rear the bib should not be visible.
This is referred to as "wrap around" or "flagging."
Head:
Full in frontal, with bulge rising boldly above the
beak, space between the eyes should be full, showing
plenty of substance, thus giving a broad and round
appearance when viewed from the front. The head contour
should not dip down towards the shell, but rather meet
it squarely. Here a full cushion at the base of the
crest where it meets the head gives a more massive
appearance, resembling that of a Long Face Tumbler.
Eyes: Color, full pearl, showing a most silvery
white and should be centrally located in direct line
with the beak and the beginning of the crest. When
viewed in the profile the eye should not be obscured by
any feathers.
Cere: Narrow and very fine in texture, color to
match the plumage, namely black for blacks and blues,
horn color for browns, flesh color for reds and yellows.
Wattle:
Small and fine, possessing a delicate white bloom.
Beak: Short, stout and straight set. The beaks
ebony in blacks and blues, dark horn color in browns and
flesh color in reds and yellows.
Flights: To lie close to the body and on top of
the tail. In no case should the flights be crossed over
the top of the tail, or drop below the tail.
Wing
Butts: Carried well forward and close to the
body, giving the whole body a taper or wedge shape from
the shoulders and must be entirely free of foul
feathers.
Tail: As narrow and short as possible, not to
extend more than one inch beyond the flights. (1/2 inch
preferred).
Thighs: Entirely free of foul feathers.
Legs: Clean, free of feathers below the hock.
Set back to give that slightly hollow appearance between
the shoulders, which imparts so much smartness to the
body.
Feet: Small and bright fiery red in color, toe
nails should match in color with the beak in each
specimen.
Keel:
Warped or crooked keel is a fault. Birds not to be
penalized too severely where the case is slight.
Feathers: Firm, short, and smooth.
Condition: Clean and hard with close
compact plumage having a good sheen.
Station: Erect and alert. Sprightly in movement.
Colors: Black, brown, red, yellow, blue,
silver, khaki, ash red, and ash yellow. [NOTE:
Ash red spread (smooth silver color in the tail and
tips) sometimes referred to as "lavender" will be shown
with the "flecked" specimens. As ash red enjoys a wide
variation in hues, the members may elect to separate the
two if agreed to when a large class is shown].
Size: Cocks should be 9 ½" to the top of the
head (not the shell) and 11" in length when standing
erect. Hens slightly smaller and "cobby." Larger or
smaller is not a disqualification, but could be a
deciding factor in a close decision.
