    I've noticed reading the various threads, that there are a TON of abbreviations people use, from feed to breeds. Being new, I don't know what most of these are. I've figured out a few (BOSS - black oil sunflower seeds; RIR - Rhode Island Reds), but the vast majority mean nothing. Is there a list out there or can someone make a list of all these abbreviations & post it somewhere easily found by us newbies?

    Yes, it's hard on someone that's new, until they're learned. It takes a while! sorry.
