The one I found here was $64 for a 2010 edition, Bantam Standard was $46: http://www.strombergschickens.com/prod_detail_list/breed-standard-books

If you want a cheaper alternative then Storey's Guide to Poultry Breeds is pretty good, although a few of the pictures (like the Golden Phoenix) are not good representatives of the breed. It is pretty good though, gives a good idea.

Does anybody know about some good shows in my area? Don't say my local fair, I'm not taking my chickens there again...

Preferably annuals.

d'uccle/silkie mix (colors involved are its mom is a mille d'uccle/white silkie mix and its dad is an lavender d'uccle)







feathers are a bit wet from stepping in the waterier)

other mix





(no lavender in these 2)






these are then lavender/porcelain babies

Hdowden, fun little babies! It'll be fun to see how those silkie mixes turn out. I just sold mine to some 4h kids that fell in love with them. I like the lavender babies too, really pretty blue/purple color!

Thanks I will have to check this out. I want to try and get just one breed and try to breed them but want to do it right. I like the way my d'uccles are so maybe I will try them.
