Greetings! This thread is established for the discussion of Standard-bred fowl, often referred to as Heritage fowl. It is for all manner of concerns with regards to the large fowl breeds and varieties contained within the American Poultry Association's American Standard of Perfection.

As a community hub, it looks to be a source for general discussion, where breeders and would-be breeders can gather and exchange information. It is a place where new-comers hoping to specialize in traditional, SOP-quality stock might find support and direction.

It is a place where stock can be discussed honestly in relationship to the SOP so that all might gain knowledge of how to direct one's breeding efforts.

In short, it is a place to discuss the story, breeding, exhibition, and production value that comprise the heritage of standard-bred poultry.

I'm glad for this shift in BYC consciousness. The "heritage threads" have done a lot to plant these seeds. That community is having a strong effect.

I also like that it can become a clear course of information to help counterbalance the well-intended misinformation that is often present in other sections, which are really thought-processes of people working out details--some of which need more work. Clearly demarcating out a section helps interested seekers to differentiate between sources.

The result can be exciting for those really looking to develop an APA/ABA consciousness around fowl.

I have a decision to make on my buckeye hens, one has a wide enough tail but the wrong angle, the other has the correct angle but narrow tail. Help would be nice!
 
And we can write them, what breed do you have? Are you interested in procuring some standard bred birds
to incorporate into your flock? Learning more about the heritage of your breed? There is a great thead for
that called Heritage Large Fowl Phase II. Here's their URL" ( ).
Best,
Karen
 
Joseph, is there some way you could get a moderator to clear it up from time to time of jibber jabber and off topic talk the phase 2 heritage thread has been consumed with?
