The "Turbit" picture will be shown here when available. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BODY (10 pts.): Medium sized, compact, very full in breast, broad back, flights short and resting above the tail; tail short and tightly folded; carriage erect and graceful.
HEAD (10 pts.): Large as compared with size of body; reasonably wide in skull; forehead high and extending forward with good reach of frontal, full above and around the wattle to the eyes; skull showing no flatness; wide in gape and full in cheeks.
BEAK (10 pts.): Both mandibles short and thick, the upper mandible having a downward tendency and blending perfectly into the curve of profile; the lower mandible straight and fitting tightly into the upper, providing a mouthline of pleasing expression.
BEAK SETTING & SWEEP (15 pts.): Beak should be firmly set well up in front of head so that from the profile view the bird will have the appearance of possessing a long, even, smoothly curving and unbroken sweep running from the base of the lower mandible up over the forehead then back over the skull to the peak of the crest. Pokey-beaked or abruptly down-faced birds are to be deplored.
CREST & MANE (8 pts.): Crest nicely placed at top of the rear skull, springing from an unbroken, arched mane and ending in a fine point well above the head; the mane, centrally located at the back of the neck, commencing well down in shoulders and continuing in a straight line (when viewed from back) upward to an unbroken juncture with the crest.
WATTLE (5 pts.): Heart-shaped, smooth in texture, a fair amount but in no way rising out of the curve of the profile.
GULLET & NECK (8 pts.): Gullet – as much as possible, filling the hollow in the throat. Neck – broad from back to front, carried slightly back and arched, blending symmetrically into the breast and back.
EYE (5 pts.): Large and prominent, situated comparatively near the top of the head, but with good distance to the frontal bulge; color of eye, bull; eye cere powdered white and as fine as possible in size and texture.
FRILL (6 pts.): As much as possible, long in feather and firm in texture, turning both ways and extending from the gullet well down into the breast.
LEGS (3 pts.): Medium in length, showing but little of thigh; color bright red.
COLOR (10 pts.): Black, dun, blue, silver, red, yellow, mealy, cream, rare, stock-mismarked and AOC, all colors as rich and as glossy as possible; blues, silver, mealies, and creams having even, distinct bars colored black in blues, dark dun in silvers, red in mealies and yellow in creams.
MARKINGS (10 pts.): White with colored wings, each having ten white primary flight feathers.
