You will have to buy the Standard of Perfection book. You can find it on the APA site in there store or maybe on amazon.com. it will list all breeds and since you want to show more than one you will need it.

There is a Dominique and a Barred Plymouth Rock. I noticed you said "Dominiquer".

"Dominiquer" or "dominecker" are a term used to describe (at least in my area) any bird that has barring (black and white lines) on their feathers.

Dominique is a bird that has a rose comb, yellow legs and beak, and a less uniformed barring going on throughout the feathers.

A Barred Plymouth Rock is a bird that has a single comb, yellow legs and beak and a more uniformed barring.

Thank you all very much for your help!!! The other bird I wish to show is the Wyandotte, In showing the breed does it matter what the color of the bird is? As in silver, or Golden.

Yes, you will have to differentiate the color of the bird when you are entering in the show.

You will have to state whether it is Silver Laced, Gold Laced, White, Black, etc. Because there are several different varieties within a breed..
