SOP Quick Reference

[Sheilamae219]

Hello.

I'm endeavoring to compile a "quick reference picture guide" if you will, of different breeds that show side-by-side comparisons of SOP breeding vs backyard/pet quality poultry. This is NOT to replace the Standard of Perfect, but only to offer a quick visual of the obvious differences in variety per breed. I've found that it isn't always easy to find such examples, and would appreciate such a tool.

Thanks for any input!

I have show quality and pets but they are not the same breed.

I'd be interested to see what you have!

For a starting point, I know that Doris Robinson did a series of photos on this. Scroll down.

Thank you! This is certainly a starting point.

Here is an example of a good d’Anvers hen if you want it

I'll get pictures of mine in a few weeks when they are in the show cages and can't get away.

The pictures I took are on my Mom's phone and I have not been able to move them yet. These are some of the same birds just not in cages and rather dirty.
