Please....can someone clarify what all these abreviations are for. RIRs are obvious as well as a few others that I can figure out easily but sometimes I just look at them and say,"UUHHHH???"
 
EE are Easter Eggers. That's all I know for chickens.

Things like DH, DW, DD, DS- those are family members. Dear hubby, wife, daughter, and son.
 
BR = Barred Rock
PR = Plymouth Rock
BA = Black Australorp
BSL = Black Sex Link

ummm...that's all I can think of for now. Can you post specific acronym's you've seen that you wondered about and people could then tell you what those mean?
 
yes!!!
I was looking for OEGB, but couldn't find it. I knew it started with an O and I knew a few of the other letters, but didn't remember the order......Okay, you are probably right.
But what about these.....
OE........SLW.......NH ( New Hampshire???)......PR ( Partridge Rock???)....WR......GC
and whatever else. If I can make a list I will keep it in one of my chicken books or self sufficient books. These letters are causing me some confusion. I mean I have been talking about chickens forever, but not on a computer and I probably could understand better if I knew what they meant.
 
Here you go. This is the best I have so far.
Hope this helps you
