I have a suggestion: Take 4 individuals of one kind, say 4 Salmon Faverolle cockerels. And judge them according to the standard. This one has the wrong comb, this one has a poor muff and beard compared to the next one. We need to learn how to judge.
I am mentoring 4 little Amish kids in chickens. But the Mom admitted to me last night that these eggs sat too long on a counter waiting for room in the incubator. We are at day 21 as of this evening. Down to 5 out of 22 eggs. This is going to be a hard lesson.
