Does anyone have an american standard of perfection?

If you do, i really need your help. If you could, could you look up New Hampshire Bantam, and tell me what it says? Thanks!

Too bad they dont have that in a newer version, in that one the breed has not been declared a breed yet.

Thats a lot of typing for a one handed septuagenarian. I think there is a site with an old standard with details in a previous post. The colors should be the same. They were not admitted to the Standard until 1935 so find a copy that was printed after that date.
