Quote: YAH! OR, They are looking good, it's wonderful to see that beautiful color isn't it? You will have post some closer pics soon as you are back on your feet.

Quote: My prayers have been with all of the poultry raiser during this hurricane, and for the whole season.

Quote: Thanks Math Ace, very interesting and helpful. Wow great link , that cleared up alot for me, put a picture with a term, Im a visual learner for the most part, hands on is the other part. X2

Quote: They are not the same.... Specifically, I KNOW the tail angles are different for a hen and a rooster. I haven't had a chance to do anymore than what I did on the first page.... Rather than retyping the whole thing.... maybe I will just look at how the standard is different and just...

I would also like to join in I was afraid of interupting the disscusion so I have been lurking and trying to understand the exact position of these oblong black feathers? Along the crease of the neck? where it joins the body,wing fold?

Quote: If the breed standard does not say a white feather is acceptable , it reverts back to the interpretation section and cuttings for defects. A white wing or tail feather on the SS is a DQ, since the breed standard does say it is acceptable. There is another pullet waiting for a critique...

Quote: Thank you neftaball, I was going to order with him too he had lovely birds, and because he is very close to us we could have driven there.
