Breed Abbreviations

[CK Chickadilly]

Being new to chickens & not knowing all the different breeds.....I noticed that a lot of you use abbreviations when referring to your chicken breeds.

I was wondering if someone could type out a list of the breeds with your abbreviations so newbies like us know what breed you are talking about? I hope it is not to much work, but it sure would be helpful!

Thanks a BIG bunch!!!!
