Eyes must be the same in colored birds. Ceres that project past the circle of the head must be penalized severely. Wide from side view, thin from the front view, filling in the hollow space at the throat, starting near the tip of the lower mandible and terminating in the frill. There must be at least two protruding feathers to avoid disqualification. Feet rather small and neat.
Toes well spread apart.
Color bright red. Judges should consider nine inches by nine inches acceptable. Birds larger than this can be considered in class competition, but are not to be considered for special awards. A good small bird should be considered better than a good large one. Checkers should show even and distinct checkering on wings, breast, thighs and rump.
