Marans - SOP discussion thread

Just bringing the thread up front will start listing faults and DQs starting with the head and will follow with the neck.

I think you should separate the dqs from the faults so it isn't confusing.

I agree. I'm not so versed in the SOP that I can pick out which ones are which.

Also, if it's not too big a hassle, would it be possible to list major and minor faults separately? (if there are such things.)

Take a look half way down the list it says head faults.

Sorry, I missed it too. Maybe bold letters?

Don, I see eye color as a fault, not a dq, and a crow head would also be a fault, not a dq.
I would also add that any comb other than a single comb would be a dg, not just a carnation comb.
The Marans standard also says that a hen in lay, shall not be penalized for a loped comb. So in that case, it is not a fault or dq.

Sue, Sorry to say but you are wrong on all your assumptions here. I doubled checked the SOP before postings. I stand by all points of the POST
