"We do not critique our chooks, we describe."
Chooks man
Long type? Rectangular, good mass
Head: nice shape.
Beak: correct horn colored
Comb: average size with 5 points, back of comb touches head, SOP calls for it not to touch. No sprigs, nice texture.
Wattles: average size
Eye color: orange, bright, correct
Ear tuft: copper
Neck: nicely arched
Top line: straight long back at proper angle.
Tail: correct 45 degree angle.I see no white underfluff at base or in tail feathers in photo. There is something about the tail that needs improvement. I cant figure it out.
Color: copper in hackle shows slight halo near the base, should be rich copper color all the way down, front neck hackles are still growing in.
Complete shoulder color, saddle copper still growing in, lancets correct color, no white.
Wing: tucked against body, wing tip is held low. Tip should be tucked up further against body
Bottom line: well balanced, tall on his feet, legs properly positioned.
Legs: correct leg color, slate with pink.
Feathering is very sparse, SOP calls for medium leg feathering down shank and 3rd toe.
Body feathering is tight to body with minimal fluff
Chest is deep with minimal copper, good breast mass.
Conformation is correct.
I look forward to your corrections of my description.
He is beautiful!
