Can anyone explain to me what's a B quality on a bantam hen?

[arianna]

I have heard this before on a bantam thread on BYC. I understand it's something about the purity of the bird's breed and I believe size and weight?

. Can anyone tell me how this quality rating works on bantams? Thank you.

Serama are the only fowl that I know of that have a, "Size Classes"

Mature Cocks Mature Hens
Class A - up to 350 grams (12.35 oz.) Class A - up to 325 grams (11.46 oz.)
Class B - up to 500 grams (17.64 oz.) Class B - up to 425 grams (14.99 oz.)
Class C - up to 600 grams (21.16 oz.) Class C - up to 500 grams (17.64 oz.)
Class D - up to 750 grams Class D - up to 600 grams


Other bantams Fowl have a Cock, Hen, Cockerel and pullet class with there ideal weight.

Example -

Rhode Island Red Bantam --
Cocks ....................34 oz. Hen .................... 26 oz.
Cockerels ..............30 oz. Pullets ................ 26 oz.
