Question: "Wings, carried without drooping" I interpret that to mean that the bottom of the wing should be horizontal. Is that the correct interpretation? It seems to me that the birds that have more of a slope to their backs also have wings that droop. I have been breeding towards...

If we use the back line to determine the tail angle.... Is this the correct way to measure angle? In this case, this bird has a squirrel tail. Right?

Great question. I look forward to the answer. To me, a good % of polish's I've seen have too much slope to their backs. Which brings me back to the squirrel tail issue. I understood that squirrel tail was measure by degrees based on the horizontal line (anterior base), but it was brought...

Thought I would jump in here quickly before this section is over. I provided notes as to what I see and what I think needs work. To me, the polish has been a challenge as my line was very upright with a sever tail angle and dropped wing. I have been working on a flatter back, lower tail and...

You are absolutely correct. This diagram is for the males. I updated the files so now it reads "Males" so not to confuse anyone. Thanks for pointing that out.

You're welcome. Yep, I am visual. I need to see it. I just updated the diagram. I also noticed Orp was not spelled out so I corrected that too.

Sure, Here is the updated one

I just created a diagram in Photoshop that shows the tail angle for the various breeds. I have not had anyone proof it, so there may be errors. If you find any, let me know and I will fix em. Edited: To add Marans

According to the SOP the tail angle of the Polish should be at 45 degrees so yes the tail should be lower. It is hard to tell, but in the photo to looks like your roosters tail set at about 70 degrees. I will post a photo of the degrees in a while. Im fooling around in photoshop now.

Quote: From what I understand, this is not Squirrel Tail because the tail does not come forward beyond the 90 degree vertical line. I drew a 90 degree angle on your image. Hope you don't mind. If this was a squirrel tail, the tail would cross over the vert. red line. Hope this helps.

Marking thread. thanks
