If the European can do it, why can't we??? SCNA members got the white approved by the aba and apa, they are working on the recognition of the blk right now.....so if we have the cocopop variety or varieties ready before other color varieties, we can have it or them accept and recognize sooner but what we really need right now is more then 5 cocopop breeders to make it happen. I am using the European written standard below as my guide line on my project.
Bronze tailed Silver neck double laced:
Rooster: head, hackle and saddle: visible part light cream coloured to almost white, feather basis light brown. Shoulders and back shing orange red. Primaries matt bronze brown with a brown outer edge. Seconaries with red brown passing into cream outer vanes (wing triangle is two coloured redbrown/cream), inner vane matt bronze brown. Breast, wing coverts, wing band, abdomen and lower thighs light chestnut brown with a fine blackish lacing around the feather edge. On the inner side of this lace a distinct cream coloured inner lace. Main tail feathers very dark matt brown with almost invisible light chestnut brown to the basis. Sickles shining bronze brown, by-sickles slightly peppered and strong shining. Down: brownish grey.
Legs: yellow.
Severe faults: a blurred lacing on the rooster, a too broad creme coloured inner lace by which the breast is not evenly three coloured, strong yellow or patchy ornamental feathers, missing shine;
Hen: head and hackle wheaten coloured with a silverish lacing and in lower hackle a matt brown shaft stripe. Primaries wheaten coloured with matt brown inner vane. Back, wing coverts, saddle and tail coverts wheaten coloured with a light feather edge. The inner part of these feathers have more or less distinct grey brown peppering. Breast, abdomen and lower thighs light wheaten coloured with a pale feather edge and pale feather quill. Tail grey brown, the upper main tail feathers in colour matching the tail coverts. Down: greyish.
Legs: yellow.
Severe faults: a very patchy ground colour, missing paled edging around the feathers.
