Lisa, just remember the SOP says for the female to be fairly open and the male to be well-spread. Will say also if the fowl ss do not have nice wide Backs all the way to the tail you will find it very hard to have a nice open tail SS. The width of the back at the end section has something to do with the open tail that is wanted in the SOP. Now this is just what I believe from keeping records of breeding all kinds of poultry.
Catch up the Marans pullet and see how wide her end of back area really is for comparison to the SS pullet. I measure the back with a mechanical instrument to be clear on with.
