Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

I make the following points:-

1. The only think I need to be careful about is that we do not double claim, I assume that if I give you a receipt for [COLOR=0563C1]http://www.bakeridi.edu.au/[/COLOR] you will claim this on your tax so I need to deduct this amount when I sent my donation for tax purposes.
2. I expected this conversation to be along these lines:-
   1. There a no Blue Plymouth Rocks in Oz
   2. What is a Blue Plymouth Rock

Thank you to those who support my efforts, you may find my website helpful [COLOR=0563C1]http://www.findtex.com.au/[/COLOR]

I think we all support your efforts and I too have relatives with type 1 diabetes so I certainly think it is a great cause. We are only offering advice from a tax point of view. There is a few of us that are in this field and as Sam states unless you are linked to that organisation and are legally allowed to issue receipts on their behalf it can not be claimed as a tax deduction. As a buyer If the breed you had was one I was after and the birds of a quality I was looking for then i would happily pay whatever price and would be happy for you to donate whatever you like to the cause, I just could not claim that against my tax. My dad tells me I could sell rice to the Asians so this is just my 2 cents worth..... Maybe just advertise them as the amount per bird you want with a note saying you will be donating a certain percentage to and add the link... People still tend to support worthy causes. I know nothing about the blue rocks... Do they breed true?

I once looked at BPR so I didn't think it was anything out of the normal. Nice birds and good luck with your fundraising.

Thanks for the tax advice, I am registered with Baker IDI, it probably a matter of wording i.e. price $40 with a matching donation etc.

They do breed true i.e 2 blues gives 25% black: 50% blue: 25% white. I guess I am trying to promote the breed as many Ozzies even top judges have never seen them.

BPR look awesome ! I really love Ash's whites too.

@Ashburn we would love some more pics of your stunning chooks!

It's very disappointing when you sell birds out ,explain in detail how to look after them , only to find that they were killed by a dog 2 days later. Rip dotte.

That's awful Fancy! It would make me want to interrogate all future owners on their run security to the point of putting them off buying from me.

A plymouth rock is a chicken breed that originated in the US. A Blue plymouth rock is a colour variation* this is not my photo

I know the feeling Fancy, we sold a bird only to hear it died 'from the cold'

I had been telling them for months they were feeding it the wrong feed, poor thing probably starved to death.
