One thought, you may want to retool it so that not evey box needs a selection. If i'm looking for a banty egg hen for the city, comb type doesn't matter much to me.

Should not be taken seriously in large doses, use as directed.

Tried it and love the way it works.

HOWEVER ... when I clicked on Welsummer to see the breed info all the catagories were blank and the image wouldn't come up. I went to locate Welsummer through the regular breeds page and everything came up great.

Just thought I'd let you know in case it's a glitch.

Hmm... same thing happened with the Orpington image linked to the picture of Orpingtons on a leaning roost.

RIR worked perfect.

Works great! thumbsup It turned up breeds that I already have -- that's reassuring! smile Guess all the advice I got at BYC paid off.

Did I understand correctly that if I don't care about comb type, I can just mark all of the choices?

Weird... it picked Ameraucanas for me. Can you imagine that?

Keeper of 18 hens, 3 PW Leghorns, 1 leghorn mix, 1 FBCMarans, 1 Australorp, 2 Olive Eggers , 1 EE, a Barred Rock, a RIR, a CQ, 1 Delaware,, a Splash Ameraucana, 3 polish, a Welsummer and 25 juvies of various breeds(6 Heritage Delawares, 1 SLW, 1Blue NN, 5 FBCMs, 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Olive Eggers, and 8 Alohas.) YIKES! Time to SELL some chickens!

Yeah, just check them all. smile

The awesomeness of a movie can, under normal circumstances, be easily calculated by counting the number of cars destroyed and multiplying that figure by the number of witty comebacks issued by major characters. The Avengers is a very high ranking movie on this scale.

"Harrison Ford is the President of the United States" is the perfect movie tagline.

In that case, just leave everything checked, but uncheck the size setting and you'll get what you're looking for.
