So you're saying basically what is the most important reason to cull, second most important reason, etc. regarding common flaws? Because if that is your question, I don't think there is a single most important aspect on a show bird. All are important because they all go into the overall look of the bird. If a bird has nice, well defined lacing but a wrong conformation, then obviously its not fit for show. You could either cull that, or try and breed it out over generations. A lot of breeders i know tackle one aspect at a time, i.e. focus on well defined lacing one year, then next confirmation, then next leg color, and so on. It never really ends, because there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect bird.
