They may be DQ'd next time. Depending on what kind of show it is, some judges are pretty forgiving.....some are not. If a judge follows the letter of the SOP it should be DQ'd if entered as a bantam.

Today's Update:

 

I guess being impacted caused my boy's wheezing.  My daughter went outside to bring my boy in for his massage and olive oil bread treatment and she didn't know which one it was.  No one was wheezy and no one had a full crop!  So, I am assuming he's okay.  I am still keeping an eye on them and I fed them all olive oil bread and grit just in case/for a treat today.

well British standard is a little different than the asop as far as size is concerned,we only attend apa sanctioned shows.so for showing bird's with UK standard breeding it's definitely very far apart from a asop bantam orpington,lol and we knew this,it's all in fun even if we where to get dq'd they are some extremely nice bird's and nobody can take that from them.

Yay! I love the olive oil idea too, have to remember that one.
