Body (10 pts.): Medium sized,
compact, very full in breast, broad back, flights short
and resting above the tail; tail short and tightly
folded; carriage erect and graceful.
Head (10 pts.):
Large as compared with size of body; reasonably wide in
skull; forehead high and extending forward with good
reach of frontal, full above and around the wattle to
the eyes; skull showing no flatness; wide in gape and
full in cheeks.
Beak
(10 pts.): Both mandibles short and thick, the
upper mandible having a downward tendency and blending
perfectly into the curve of profile; the lower mandible
straight and fitting tightly into the upper, providing a
mouthline of pleasing expression.
Beak Setting and Sweep
(15 pts.): Beak should be firmly set well up in
front of head so that from the profile view the bird
will have the appearance of possessing a long, even,
smoothly curving and unbroken sweep running from the
base of the lower mandible up over the forehead then
back over the skull to the peak of the crest.
Pokey-beaked or abruptly down-faced birds are to be
deplored.
Crest and Mane
(8 pts.): Crest nicely placed at top of the rear
skull, springing from an unbroken, arched mane and
ending in a fine point well above the head; the mane,
centrally located at the back of the neck, commencing
well down in shoulders and continuing in a straight line
(when viewed from back) upward to an unbroken juncture
with the crest.
Wattle
(5 pts.): Heart-shaped, smooth in texture, a
fair amount but in no way rising out of the curve of the
profile.

(8 pts.): Gullet – as much as possible, filling
the hollow in the throat. Neck – broad from back to
front, carried slightly back and arched, blending
symmetrically into the breast and back.
Eye
(5 pts.): Large and prominent, situated
comparatively near the top of the head, but with good
distance to the frontal bulge; color of eye, bull; eye
cere powdered white and as fine as possible in size and
texture.
Frill
(6 pts.): As much as possible, long in feather
and firm in texture, turning both ways and extending
from the gullet well down into the breast.
Legs
(3 pts.): Medium in length, showing but little
of thigh; color bright red.
Color

yellow, mealy, cream, rare, stock-
mismarked and AOC, all colors as rich and as glossy as
possible; blues, silver, mealies, and creams having
even, distinct bars colored black in blues, dark dun in
silvers, red in mealies and yellow in creams.
