Judges Comments:

Judged by Jim Fletcher & Errol Miller.

Summation by Jim Fletcher.

Very pleasing class and major inroads have been made in improving the dilutes. A pleasure to judge and a strong class right down the line. The top row are all super quality birds.

First owned by Murray & Spink (Victoria) is a lovely big Skyblue Dilute cock with magnificent head features and shoulder, he is missing a few feathers and we penalised the bird accordingly but he is too big and powerful so had to win.

Second owned by Brett & Danny Card (South Queensland) is a Grey Dilute unfortunately not in full condition and had a tendency to spread his flights.

Third owned by Guinane Family (Q’land North & Central Zone) is a Skyblue hen with super quality, powerful but just shaded on the day.
