It hasn't arrived yet but as I understand it any new colours approved by the standards will be included and obviously any changes in the standards. Other than that its "suck it and see". It is a relatively expensive book but well worth it for any serious poultry breeder and fancier - and essential is you are showing birds. I presume - at least in the UK - it can be loaned from a Library but I know you are in France MOJO.

British Poultry Standards comes in Hardback. I am also trying to source the French equivalent and will let you know if I am successful. There must be a standards book to serve as a 'bible' for the judges. Regards Jan - OH Richard.
