Another question I've seen is what is the feather between the primaries and secondaries? The axiel feather.

Also, what 5 breeds have a rose comb?

That was very helpful!

My son also shows his chickens in the local 4-H and often needs to brush up on what is expected. During some searches online, I came across a few informative demonstration videos. I'll post the links here for those that could benefit from them, as well.

At the NJ state fair, my son was asked to list five different types of combs.
Luckily, we had studied some of the resources in the BYC Learning Center, and he knew the answer!

Sebrights, Wyandottes, Rosecomb bantam, Hamburg, Rosecomb Rhode Island Red, and Rosecomb Leghorn

I believe there may be others...

Can you answer those questions for us (me)??

LOL

lol Sure. Every bird, regardless of the species has 10 primary feathers on each wing. 2. The parts of the comb you can look up, as I don't know remember. 3. The judge asked us to show him the tail. You either hold the bird and tilt them up and down so it fans out or you run your hand up them to fan them out. 4. NPIP stands for National Poultry Improvement Plan.

Good questions!

great sticky also to the OP who made it!
