I agree.I do not think they should be easy to change!! If they were too easy to change, breeders would change the standard to fit their birds, not the other way around. I am trying to wrap my brain around this shafting on the breast though. Sometimes I wish it were easier to see the pictures and information the standard was based on. All I have to go on is what I can find on the internet and from speaking with as many breeders as I can. I'm very glad this was brought up, because honestly, it was not something I was even looking at in the birds. Now I can add that to my list of breeding criteria. I'd still love to see and example of what it should look like!
