You mean so that sellers of hatching eggs can over-value their birds more than they already do? If that's the case, it looks like the breed is gonna head down the path of, "Oh, your birds aren't in the club database, they're not REALLY Cream Legbars."
On that note, I vote 100% against it instead of being open to the idea. This will just serve to give the club an elitist attitude in the long run.
"That bird isn't a standard color, it's not one of this breed..." Sound familiar?
I agree, I don't know where the happy medium is. there has to be some way of showing you have stock to support the price you need to charge to manage the cost of keeping birds and people to sell crap birds on ebay claiming they'er cream legbars when they aren't even close. i guess its up to the buyers to do the research.
Maybe a disclaimer on the registry then saying that it is only for the purpose of tracking breeding and avoiding in-breeding due to the limited genetic pool? It can state that being on the registry doesn't indicate the quality of the birds?
