I have no idea what cocopop is supposed to look like, so I couldn't say.

ETA: If you mean the darker one, I still don't know what color she is. But she will likely be a 'cull' anyway since she has green legs.

Shelley... many (?) pages back, there was a discussion about green/willow legs. You may want to consult the experts here, but if I remember correctly, its not a horrible thing. If your chick has good type, then she/he may still be viable in your breeding program... I only remember that because my sweetest., most favorite hen has willow legs, so that conversation caught my eye.

 

[shelleyd2008]

Some say it's okay and some say it's not. She's not all that great anyway except for being the right 'size'. I've read that willow/green legs is dominant and read that it is recessive. So it's not a total detriment but it should be avoided if possible. It is a DQ in shows, even in TT I believe. So she personally won't ever be a 'show bird'. I'm not good enough with judging type to know how she'd be in a breeding program.

I'm still trying to get pens made for them so I can pair or trio breed them. Long drawn-out process trying to build pens!

In SCNA Table Top, and ABA in cage judging, green shanks and white earlobe are a DQ, in the white variety only. If you enter your birds as AOV, any shank color, other than yellow is OK.

great info.

I'm taking a couple of mine to an apa show this weekend. I'm taking the white frizzle cockerel and this fellow

I had the hen entered as well but now she is broody.

 

[SunValleySeramas]

when judging the ABA accepted white, they must have yellow shank and NO white in LOBES, this is a DQ any other variety-color serama is judged on conformation, as you are looking at a" black and white photo." Some breeders sutch as my self are trying to eliminate the dark shank and the white in the lobes for future generations. Green shanks is hard to mask you can cover it with yellow but several generations down the line, it may pop up, so selecting correct everything while establishing your flock now is important, now if you breed your bird with egggcelent type and green legs and get a chick that is of equal type and no green legs, use that one to move forward on your breeding program with.. To each its own, your birds are very nice and dont let anyone tell you different!!.. When we are moving forward and looking for ABA acceptance, start to choose your breeding stock with correct shanks and conformation, If you start with the correct and work on type with correct shank and lobes it makes the journey a bit easier..
