Catagory: P
Variety: Black Copper
Age: 9 months
Notes: 6lbs/2.7kg weight.

what a lovely body type but her comb let her down ,
I m afraid she ll be disqualify because of the comb .
major faults- 1)irregular ( should have 5 well defined points). 2)floppy ( should be straight ) and 3) has a double comb point ( forked point )on the second point .
double comb point is a disqualify by it self .

shame she ll do great in the breeding pen with a well marked roo with a gorgeous comb.

Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate that! I was wondering why she didn't place as well as one of my other hens at a show, since she was so much bigger. Now I know. Thanks for clearing that up!

Aww darn it! I just got four BCM chicks. I saw this contest and I was really disappointed when I noticed it ended two days ago!

Oh well

 

[Chooks man]

here are the Fault that cause the disqualification of any marans chooks from the show .
1) luck of mass - chooks under the minimum weight Coq under 3Kg and Hen under 2.5K
2) black eyes
3) side sprig and forked comb point .coronation comb
4) White ears lobe
5) yellow feet
if the chooks are shown in USA

if they are shown in France than we have to add = Absence of the red shoulder on the coq.


anything else will cause the chooks to loose points but not disqualify .
