Great stuff i have a soft spot for pouters,what i would like know is what are the judges looking for in them do they handle them?or what.

[scottym7]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Yes almost every bird is handled by the judges see the standard below for Horseman pouters which the judge should try to go by, however i am ageat beleaver in a judge will pick what they would like to take home and have in their loft providing it is as close to the standard as possible.

 

Overall Impression : Cheery & Lively, response to chat

Dimensions :Height : 9 - 10", Length 12 - 13" tip of beak to end of tail

Head : oval and neat, beak resting on crop, ( I prefer the beak to create a heart shape on the crop JMO)

Eye : red/orange/yellow ( not mixed or bull)

Beak : Dark in selfs, fleshy in dilutes and whites accepted, medium wattle.

Neck : Crop rounded and well sprung and in relation to the body, not over blowing.

Body : Strong and firm

Wings : Tight to the body slightly parted at end and around 3/4" from the tail.

Feathers : Strong and hard in good condition

Legs : Strong appearance free from feathers and in proportion to body i.e. not to long

Colours ; All colours accepted including grizzles and self whites however white flights are not excepted.

 

faults, too tall and too upright, too low and too long, Bull eyes marked or odd eyes, small wattle, long beak small crop & overblown, distorted or cropbound, skinny, prominant keel, too heavy and too wide, too long & cross flighted, Droopy wings, dirty dull and broken flights.
