Japanese Bantam Thread!

[japbantams2011]

Does anybody have bearded japs ? I have a bearded roo from Don Davis I don't really need.

Do you have a picture of it? I may be interested if you want to sell it

Wrap your index finger around the leg: you should see feathers on one side of your finger & foot on the other. about 3/4 of an inch is the length you're looking for. Longer legs are not a disqualification but a long legged Japanese Bantam with long legs can't be expected to do well in a show. That said, the first General Disqualification listed is "Specimen lacking in breed characteristics". A judge could support disqualifying a long legged Jap based on this since short legs are an identifying breed characteristic of Japanese Bantams.

Thank you

I have a beautiful (well, I think so) Black roo I show alot. He has long legs, and has never had a DQ.
Or even had his tag marked for legs. Maybe the judges just feel sorry for me.
Somewhere here I have posted his pic... need to go find it.

He's cute...looks like his legs are dark...are they black? Does he get marked down at shows for that?

They are dark yellow with darker shading. Forgot the term, now I have to look.

"Dusky yellow" Quoted from the APA SOP.
