Standard bred Sumatras

[Coop Scoop Boogie]

Anyone ever see the horse magazine that had where they would post three different horses and then you have to judge them? Thinking of an idea that I might try as I get the time where I post three different birds, body, head and feet and then everyone can say how they would place the class and why... but no right or wrong placings, just good discussions. Sound like a good plan?

I can judge the conformation of a horse but a bird????? I'm lost on the finer
points so this idea would help me. Of course at my age it's all for my own pleasure
and to improve my birds. There's the old adage of " It costs more to feed a poor
quality animal as it does a good one", and it's just about right.

I think there are people that would enjoy a discussion like that Infnityhrt. I thought about doing something similar at one point but wasn't sure how to keep it sane, other than to use birds that have been culled.

It just popped into my head. I know someone had marked the back area of the bird in a picture on another thread to which someone had replied that they had been wondering what was considered the back area and was happy to see this pointed out on the picture. So since this thread is geared towards learning to breed toward the SOP, I thought it might help if people could post what they considered the throat area.

I am also liking the sound of your idea Infnityhrt. I don't know if my pictures are good enough for you to use with your idea, but you can use them if you want. It'll help me, and hopefully others, on learning the good the bad and the ugly.

Thanks, I was thinking if anyone wanted to have there bird used you can email me pics, I won't say whos birds are who, but you can if you want in the comments. Just email a body, head, and bottoms of feet shot along with either cock or cockerel, hen or pullet and we can go from there, going to try uploading some in a few and hopefully pics won't be to small in the layout I'm trying otherwise, will have to do them differnent

OK let's see how this loads and if its back to the drawing board or if it will work. The Good the Bad and the Ugly, hopefully we can all learn something new and see things maybe we haven't before.

We won't worry about color for this class since they are all different colors, one not being a recognized color.

This will be a class of Bantam Sumatra Cocks and sorry know the body shots are hard to get but hopefully they are good enough.

The pictures are a tad small to see much detail and clicking on them does not
enlarge them so no help there. Think I'll sit on my hands and see if I can see
what anyone is pointing out.

Aint having much luck on seeing the photos either, as they wont enlarge for me.

What if you enlarge your screen instead from 100 to 150% I am out of time here, have to get home and get some weeding done while its cool, will try and be on tomorrow and if that doesn't work then maybe upload them individually.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the screen thing. Technology just doesn't get along with me LOL.
