Are my Large Fowl Cochins show quality?

Hi! These are my girls! I’m just wondering if they are show quality or not. The blue girl does have a short toe. Does that automatically disqualify her? They are around a year old and I love them. They are such beautiful birds. I have a video of them but I can’t figure out how to add it to the thread. I don’t think I got pictures of my other black hen.

I would say no. They need more fluff. They should look very round. The tail fluff and leg poof should come together to cover the wing tip.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I can look at my SOP when I get home and tell you if I see anything else. A Cochin should look like this(This is a picture of the page from my SOP):

They are pet quality.

They're lovely so why would one care what some clerk thinks is the right way they should look.

I think the fact that they’re not show quality has been said.
Feathered leg breeds cannot be penalized for a rudimentary outer toe. So you’re good on that point.
Those girls need more depth of body, more fluff, and more cushion. And overall size. I don’t for sure but they appear to have bare middle toes which would be a disqualification.

Thanks everyone!! I definitely don’t love them any less I was just wondering if they might be considering how beautiful they are. I always like to get some opinions instead of going strictly off google!
