Comb points and show points.......

[teddiliza]

I have a question. I have some great young males growing in my flock with fabulous coloring, but they don't have exactly 'five even spaced' points that the d'uccle standard calls for.

Is that a disqualification, or just a point deduction if I tried to show one of these boys?

Also, does a chick inherit its comb from mom or dad?

I found (on page 39 of the colored SOP book) the points system for the SOP. "The General Scale of Points." There are 2 sets of points. One is for white and one is for other than white. The ones with * are points for, "other than white." The only difference in these, from the white, is that the shape and color are different points, but the total in that category is the same. The other points (without the *) are the same, white or not. ..... OK, here are the 100 points broken down:

SYMMETRY: 4 (shape)
WEIGHT OR SIZE: 4 (shape)
CONDITION AND VIGOR: 10 (shape)
COMB: 5 (shape)
BEAK: 3 (2 for shape, 1 for color)
SKULL & FACE: 4 (3 for shape, 1 for color)
EYES: 4 (2 for shape, 2 for color)
WATTLES: 2 (shape)
EARLOBES: 4 (2 for shape, 2 for color)
*NECK: 6 (1 for shape, 5 for color)
*BACK: 12 (6 for shape, 6 for color)
*TAIL: 8 (4 for shape, 4 for color)
*WINGS: 8 (3 for shape, 5 for color)
*BREAST: 10 (5 for shape, 5 for color)
*BODY & FLUFF: 8 (5 for shape, 3 for color)
LEGS & TOES: 8 (5 for shape, 3 for color)

Defect not D/Q.

Like NYREDS,
It would be a Defect not D/Q.

Now I have a Question, are you counting the Blade of the comb all so? Because the Blade isn't considered a Point.
