Carriage: Graceful, well balanced, alert and active but docile.
Type: Body short with well rounded sides. Broad and short back. Breast full, broad and round. Medium sized wings which are nicely folded to the side. Medium sized tail which is full and spread at the base. Main feather are carried upright, sickles of medium length.
Head: Short and broad. Beak is stout and well curved. Eyes are prominent. The comb is rose coloured and evenly set on the head being medium in height and width; gradually tapering towards the back and terminating in a definite spike (leader) which follows the curve of the neck. Face is smooth and fine in texture. Ear-lobes are oblong. Wattles are medium length and fine in texture.
Neck: Medium in length and well arched with a full hackle.
Legs & Feet: Thighs are medium in length and well covered in soft, fluffy, close and silky feathers. Shanks are medium in length, strong and well rounded. The shanks are free of feathers and fluff. Four straight and well spread toes.
Plumage: Fairly close and silky and not too abundant or fluffy.
Colour: Male Head is silvery-white. Hackles are bright silvery-white, fading to white, free from washiness, each feather having a clearly defined glossy black stripe down the middle, not running out at the tip, and free from light shaft. Back and shoulders are bright silvery-white. Wing bar solid, glossy black, primaries solid black, free from white; secondaries, white outer web and black inner and end of the feather, the silvery-white alone showing when the wing is closed.

Colour: Female Head and hackle is silvery-white, the larger feathers finely and clearly pencilled. Breast, back, cushion and wings soft silvery-white, quite even and free from any tints, each feather plentifully and distinctly pencilled with black, the pencilling to follow the form of the feather and to be even and uniform throughout. Fine sharply defined pencilling with three or more distinct lines of black is preferred to coarse, broad marking, especially in females, in which the pencilling is generally better defined than in pullets.
