The Fantail is primarily a bird of type and action. General requirements are the same for all Fantails and total 100 points.
Fantails are to be judged by comparison.
To assist judges in assigning proportionate values to the various desirable qualities, point values are listed. An advantage of 5 points may be allowed for excellence in plumage color of self and barred classes. An advantage of 5 points may also be allowed for excellence in marking and 5 points for color when patterns are involved, as in saddles, tailmarks, and bodymarks. Thin and medium in length, the upper mandible slightly curved at the tip. Small and dine in texture.
