Who has an SOP?

[gojira]

Type is only a factor in exhibition. Type has nothing to do with health, vigor, production, etc. Are you aware that APA standards change over time? If you want to preserve old breeds, you would not use the current SOP.

What is the dun gene?

 

[gojira]

Dun is on the I or dominant white locus. It affects black. It is a light brown color. It behaves similar to blue, in that it is incompletely dominant.

Nope. I just wanted the Standard of Perfection because I hope to breed Araucanas one day. I also got the Standard of Perfection because I thought it would have pictures of every breed and variety. They don’t have any pictures of Seramas.

The ABA standard has pics of seramas

Do they have pictures of all the color varieties?

Do they have pictures of all the color varieties?

Just the white since black was just recognized this year.

Just the white since black was just recognized this year.

Those are the only colors of Serama accepted?

I also find it a bit odd that (I believe) the Asil or Shamo male isn’t recognized in Wheaton but the female is.

 

[gojira]

The Wheaten male could be shown as black breasted red, but the females of those varieties look much different.

The APA talks about purebred, but many exhibition birds are not. Yet, hatcheries are accused of crossing, and they likely have not.
