@BlackHackle I hope we aren't cluttering your thread with too many questions and answers.

You can take your time on getting pictures uploaded, etc. But do you think you could post some Old English Games?

Maybe when all pics have been posted a mod can move them to its own thread and close it.
Then leave this one for discussion.

Or better yet.. maybe this would be a good article that BlackHackle could create using this sites Article functionality?... and have a link in the article to this thread.

But great idea!

I think it would be neat to have articles discussing the SOP for different breeds.

The difference is quite stark.... I find this thread very fascinating. Keep it up, please!

That said, I'll always love my hatchery birds, even if they are considered far from perfect. With all due respect to anybody who does, not all of us have the funds or need for a show quality flock. Yes, I hold a couple hatcheries in mind who've "strayed faaaaaaar from the SOP," so to speak (and sold Silkies that are obviously of mixed parentage), but those who are bothered by it, aren't required to support these particular businesses. As long as a hatchery supplies me with chooks that are easily recognized as their breed, I'm content. Not to mention how nice it is that decently affordable chicks are available to those of us on a budget. This is just an opinion coming from someone who doesn't show, and who also admires EQ birds that belong to others who do show.
