A white back is desirable, also a bib free from connections with the wings.
An over-sized bird is better than an under-sized bird. Faults that we should
work away from are: Stains on beak, broken eyes, colored rumps, and crooked
breast bone. No Hungarian should be disqualified for the removal of foul
feathers unless the outer edge is bobbed, which ruins the looks of the bird.
DISQUALIFICATIONS: Sickness, or deformity, solid black beak, solid bull eye
and bobbing of feathers. Bib closed on both sides. Solid colored head. Two
cracked eyes. Split or wry tails.
