Judges Comments:

A very strong class of birds, anything on the top row is really nice bird.

First is Cage U from R Slade from Victoria, a nice clean bird with most exhibition qualities present it improved as the judging went on, dropped flights occasionally. Has good directional feather, soft feather around the mask.

Second is Cage H from J Ennis from Victoria, we thought this bird was the benchmark but sadly at the end he failed to give what we believed he had. Strong in all facets.

Third is Cage M from Nutley Family from North & Central Queensland, Some disturbance of feather around the eye. Nice wide face, good cap and directional feather.

Fourth is Cage A from Aaron Forbes from South Queensland, as before a quality bird, with many great features, blood in head detracted from her appearance.

Fifth in Cage G from C & E Rogers from New South Wales, another hen, strong lovely type.
