How does one determine which birds meet this criteria?

I have no idea. I think it’s been like that for a long time. @azygous might know

SOP is Standard of Perfection. It is a book that tell the perfect version of all recognized varieties of fowl. It tells what shape the beak should be and what specifications there are for different colors. For example: here are the pages on Cochins. (Sorry that some are turned sideways)

If it sounds fine with everyone I will judge like so: Each category will be worth one point. The caegories are in the book such as beak, feather, feet, etc. If they meet the requirement the bird hets a point. If they fail, they do not get the point. The bird with the highest points in each category moves on to the finale. If there is a tie then I will decide.

Day 3:
Temp: 37.6 C
Humidity: It got all the way down to 46% last night while I was sleeping. The incubator beeped and woke me so I got it back up. The rest of the day it has been 54%

Egg 1: Good veining.

Egg 2: Good veining. I actually watched the heart beat.

Egg 3: Good veining.

Egg 4: No veining. Clear. Should I throw out or wait till day 5?

Wont hurt to wait one more day, right?
