I haven't seen any DQ'ed for leg color, earlobe color, etc. YET, but it's coming. It may just be individual judges that choose to overlook the fault at shows I've been to. Comb shape has been a big deal, though. No side sprigs or inverted combs allowed.

Judges are likely the issue. My kids showed at a show with a black hen that had blueish green legs and they were told it was a defect. Guess this is really a question for Jerry. As for the comb I know on all sites regarding Seramas combs are a HUGE deal. Especially with the 5 distinct points. Here is what Jerry gave me when we bought our birds from him. Hope it helps some that have questions.

Standards and Judging

Thank you abbey 2140 -- there still is no refference to ear , leg , toe color . Or did I miss it ? I've been haveing pretty good luck breeding yellow legs ( with the occasional flesh color and grayishgreen ) but still getting white ears a lot and was told that is a no no . ( black ears and yellow legs toes -- even in black birds is what I've been hearing ) I've only been at this a short time compared to many others , still perfecting type in my birds . I have nothing other than pictures and people shareing information though to compare them to , there aren't any scna sanctioned shows here . and not to many people raiseing seramas ( at least not that I have met ) most people are afraid they are too tender for our Maine winters and stay away from them . If you live in maine and raise seramas pm me I'd love chat .

Just chatting -- Tammy B.
