Common defects thread

it's -5 out so no pic, maybe later, but in gamebirds an undubbed bird or an incomplete dub will result in DQ. thats not really a defect, more an error by the owner. mixed breeds also always result in DQ.

A double spike on a rosecomb cockerel.

Multiple main points or "spikes" are a defect and birds displaying them should not be used as breeding stock.
