They used to be, but there wasn't enough support or breeders.

I know...cause I saw somewhere before I got them that they were...then I found out this morning they had been unrecognized some time ago ...now I am stuck with 15 high quality chickens I can't show

What breeds do you all have? I listed them in My Coop, though it may not be very accurate I made it a while ago.

Well, I have some leftovers from a Partridge Rock breeding project I used to have, Light Sussex, Spangled and Mahogany Russian Orloffs, Black Cochin Bantams, Buff Orpington Bantams, Quail D'Anvers, Golden Backed D'Uccles, Bantam and Standard Sultans, Bantam White Crested Black Polish, Barnevelders, Buff and White Silkies, Red Pyle Old English Game Bantams, Black Australorps, pending Blue Andalusian and Buff Rocks. I have some others but they are lower quality birds.

Looking to reduce my number and focus on each breed's individual quality

Any you are focusing on? My, your crazier than me! I may have quite a few breeds but only focus on Buckeyes and d'Anvers, though I hatch Ameraucanas and EEs for a fun project on the side. Our Silkies are being raised to kill the roosters for meat, because we want to try black meat. Not hatching though. I despise Silkies on our property, though they are pretty show birds. I focus on blue black splash and cuckoo d'Anvers, but blue quail and quail are popping up.

I am focusing mainly on the Light Sussex, the Blue Andalusian, the Buff Plymouth Rock, and the Sultans. I already put almost $800 into the Light Sussex (they were chicks from a UK import), $500 into the Blue Andalusians (the rooster I am getting is a two time champion), I am going to probably end up spending $700 on the Rocks since I am getting them flown across the continent (LOL), and over $1000 on the Sultans ...by the way, I'm only naming the prices to show you how serious I am

And I am also working on developing Blue Partridge Plymouth Rocks.

Everything around here is cheaper and more local. Call duck pairs of extreme quality go for a couple hundred around here, and that's a lot. Unless you order from GreenFire Farms. Then you're toast.

I am so jealous of you Americans it ain't funny . I have to pay for boarder fees and importing vaccinations and on top of that I have to drive 20 hrs to the boarder to pick my birds up

Vaccines? My birds were never vaccinated...
