Splash standard for large fowl
« on: September 26, 2020, 01:41:09 PM »
We have put together our first draft for the splash variety in large fowl.

We referenced the breeds that currently have the splash color variety approved in the most current American Standard of Perfection book (44th edition). The Splash Modern Game can be referenced on page 231. The Splash Cochin Bantam can be referenced on page 316. The Bearded Splash Silkie can be referenced on page 319.

We also referenced the color description for the splash color in the ABA Bantam Standard.
