Thanks for your input.
Respectfully, I have some concern about using SOP as the sole criteria for selection. SORRY I didn't write my point very well. YES, conformation, general health of the bird, weight , body capcity , body conformation,width of pelvis, etc. is assessed in a show...

If you read the SOP you will see that vigor, production, weight, etc are all addressed in the APA Standard. See pages 21 and 22 for a start. Birds that just have good color do not win at poultry shows. Poultry showing has nothing to do with what happens in other animal shows.
