Barbezieux SOP?

[Tasha55403]

Does anyone know what the SOP is or where to find it for Barbezieux? All I can find googling is the same blurb from Greenfire Farms regurgitated all over

 

[Tasha55403]

Hopefully they do. If you don't mind me asking, is there any particular reason you are looking for the SOP?

I just got two cockerels and a hen. If Im going to breed them, they should be bred to standard as much as possible. I do plan on making crosses as well, but I’d like to keep a pure line also.

Apparently there is a North American Barbezieux Chicken Breeders and Fanciers group on FB, they should have a standard once my join request is approved

Some may have a full white face, but I don’t believe they are supposed to. Of course, without a standard it’s tough to say for certain

Check and see if there is a US based Barbezieux club. If there is and they are trying to get them APA recognized they will have written a standard for them.

That’s a great idea! I found a French club...I’ll have to see ifI can translate some of it, lol.

I'm not sure where to find it either. I have it for other breeds, but I can check in my Book of SOP for the Barbezieux.

Okay, I have the SOP for White Faced Black Spanish which is pretty much the same breed with a different name.

I'll summarize the SOP later. I'm gonna be leaving soon.

Closest thing would be the Minorca standard.
