Judge Irwin gave the
members reasons for his
order of selection, saying,
“There are a few things I
look for when judging birds
The first is the total finish of
the bird; is it a nice weight,
free of bruises and cuts and
with no pen feathers’’
“The second thing is
coloring Water at too high a
temperature can ruin
coloring ”
He did go on to say,
however, that “all the birds
are well prepared and it’s
very hard to make such a
decision.”

contest and the weight of
their birds follows
