Just want to say THANK YOU for posting this topic. Being relatively new to birds, I see alot of abbreiviations & I am just like "Okay....glad THEY know what they are talking about

" So, I will certainly subscribe to this one & keep tabs & learn

I don't know if it's official, but I, personally, abb. Dominiques as Doms and White Rocks as WR (just like Barred Rock = BR.)
Would New Hampshire Reds be NHR?

Hi!

NN = Naked Neck

OEG = Old English Game
OEGB = Old English Game Bantam

MG = Modern Game
MGB = Modern Game Bantam

LOL @ LBC & BWD & IBPP

I always try to take the time to 'write it out' once in a post before I start using abbreviations.
Like, "One of my blue Naked Neck hens likes to jump over in the Barred Rock pen.
She must have gotten tagged by a BR roo, cause I have a blue barred chick from the NN pen that is a NN x BR cross."

Some breeds like Ameraucana and Araucana don't lend themselves to abbreviating. Sometimes I use Am'cana and A'cana (but that can get confusing).
