ILLUSTKATING DEFECTIVE FEMALE HEAD, COMB, WATTLES 



AND EAR LOBES. 

 Upper Bow 



1. Head rather short and round; comb twisted, an equally serious 

 defect in female as well as male; side sprig at rear, small in female, 

 but nevertheless a disqualification. Wattles wrinkled and shrunken at 

 bottom below wrinkle, so curved outline of wattle is spoiled. Lobe 

 heavy, not fitting nicely to face. 



2. Comb very much too high at rear and too straight along the 

 top; serrations not nicely formed, only four in number. Wattles and 

 ear lobes angular, not nicely rounded, somewhat shrunken. Throat too 

 coarse, not neatly formed. 



3. Comb crooked in front, serrations too long, overgrown. Wattles 

 too small. Face wrinkled, with too much plumage covering face and 

 throat. 



Lower Eow 



4. Comb much too thick at rear for a single comb. [See front 

 view on following head (5).] Wattles too small to be typical. 



5. Front view of comb (4), showing rear too thick. 



6. Head of a thin, unhealthy female.
