Quote: I'm not enough "into" showing chickens to know, really... but I did find a list of a-faults and faults for Barnevelder, Orpington and Welsumer, several times the only thing listed as faults are "lesser flaws in colour and pattern than the above" (the above referring to A-faults). So it...

You're welcome peeps Quote: Oh my, you're going to have to get some just to complete the set (I notice you have Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic... ) Ask and you shall receive, this is the page for the special club for Danish Landrace (Danske Landhøns): http://www.danskelandhoens.dk/...

The first paragraph on that page is not a part of the SOP, it's just an introduction, and yes that part is in Norwegian. The scans of the SOP though are in Danish. Trust me. Norwegian is my first language and I'm fairly fluent in Danish as well. If you can have a bit of patience I can translate...

Here is an excerpt from the Scandinavian SOP (it's in Danish though). It's a scan so not too easy to read, but it's managable. I'd translate it myself but don't have the time just now... I might have more time come next weekend, but if you'd rather have a go Roosterfry here it is. Quote: I...

Quote: I don't have any (don't have them in Norway, though there are some breeding for a grey variety) but there's a pic quite far down on this site.

Quote: NJs are NOT bantams (the original NJs that is, from Norway's west coast). However there was a breeding programme in south-eastern Norway as late as 1990-1993 where bantam Norwegian Jærhøns were developped.

Quote: Sorry, I haven't been very active on here lately - here's the link to the forum . Hope you find something of interest

Quote: Do you read Norwegian? I can give you a link for a Norwegian forum where there's a lot of discussion on Norwegian jærhøns..
