Daughter of Eve....love the story about Clyde!

 

Rod and Carol...I still have your email address for when my Nankins start laying!  I have 5 cockerels and 1 pullet that I bought from Lund Poultry in Wisconsin, and another 25 chicks from Mary Ann Harley in South Carolina.  All were hatched within the last few months, so they are still babies.  I'm really looking forward to showing later this year and (hopefully) raising quality Nankins to help keep the breed going.

 

Even though there are big time gaps between posts on here sometimes, it is the only active Nankin Forum online I have found.  If you look through the previous posts, I sent quite a few pics of my birds.  AND someone was kind enough to send a link to the ABA Standard!  I really love these little birds! 

 

Looking forward to hearing more about your flock!

Here is a link for you to try:

The APA will be recommending their admission to the APA SOP in June 2012. The APA description will be the same as the ABA's description.

It is about time Nankins were recognized by APA.

It would have been sooner if they had qualified at Indy. I am pleased that we found another way to make it happen.

APA recognition should help a LOT with getting more people involved in their breeding shouldn't it? It seems like it would, open up new venues for the little beauties. Wonder if it would have any impact on the hatcheries masquerading their mutts as the real thing, probably not as much as we'd like. BTW. Hello all. I just finished reading the entire thread. Got my 25 babies from Mary Ann this morning and have spent the day being a momma hen. Once these are grown out and I've selected my breeders I will begin looking for other breeders to enrich my strain with. :D I'm a total nocie when it comes to chicken genetics so I have a lot to learn but am looking forward to it. And Micki, mine got stuck for an extra day as well. I don't think they were ever really lost, but it did take them over 18 hours to make an 8 hour drive from one sorting facility in Georgia to the next one in Alabama.

It took much longer than I would have thought, but it is OK with everyone now......didn't expect that much trouble.
