Muffed variety, hock feathers are full, foot feathers heavily muffed having a sickle like appearance with no breaks in the sickle. The sickle shape is of more importance than the length of muffs, however, the longer the better. Tight feathered with rich colors in black, red and yellow, with good sheen. Blues should be soft and evenly shaded. The stork is bred in black, blue, red and yellow.
All Storks have a spot marking on the head.
Ideally the size of the spot is the size of the little finger nail, but variation is permitted as long as the spot is symmetrical. However, color cannot run to the eye ceres. The spot originates at the base of the upper mandible above the wattle. All outward feathers are colored and all inward feathere are white, this gives the desired marking for the Saxon Stork. Foot feathers should be full, the longer the better as long as the sickle shape is maintained.
