I have a large fowl cochin that has different wings than the rest. The first 4 primary feathers on the wings come to a point and are longer and thinner than the rest. All the other feathers have a nice round end to it, whereas all my other cochins have consistant fat round feathers on both wings. I can post a pic later if needed.
My questions: Is this going to be a DQ or points taken off for the different wing feathers? I have the standard of perfection and it does not mention this. Would a judge look down on this type of feather? Is this a bad trait that may be in this bloodline? Would this bird be able to be used as a breeder? Thanks for any help.
