grannys gone and done it

[shell shocked]

Hey there mike.

Granny, sounds like you had a day.

Camping, I think we all knew what you were saying.

Now... You won't believe this, found hidden eggs in my LAUNDRY room. Someone figured out the doggie door..... Oyyyyyy

hi yer linda you sound
worked out the dog door these chickens have got more between their ears than we think

Camping, enola, I think you meant he couldnt sell them as show quality or what ever they are called . Not that he wouldnt be allowed to sell them if he wanted to.  Right ?

Yes. Right. Maybe.

It's gets me all worked up. There's not quite as much vitriol over selling substandard birds of other breeds. With the sussex, I just asked less for a bird that wasn't as good. And I've thought about doing that with the honas, but then I talked to a few breeders who got all up in arms about it.

I just need to decide what to do, that works best for me and my farm, and stick with it.

Sorry, y'all. This is like 80% me just talking to myself. I took a nap and woke up because DH is gone and the kids are fighting, so I think I'm groggy and cranky.

Do what's best for you... A lot of great show birds start with subpar birds and bred for greatness. No worries, either way. We love you.

OK Shell, we are both here....

He would need a pure bred hen to sell purebred chicks.

Camping, dedicated breeders don't sell their sub standard chicks because they are trying to keep quality and prices higher.

Most breeds were excepted by APA in one color. Breeders decided they wanted other colors, bred chickens in that color and petitioned APA to accept those colors, too.

Getting breeds and different colored varieties accepted by APA is a long arduous road. The breeders working on the new breed or color variety have to be members of APA. Someone has to write the SOP for the breed, APA does not do this. The breed must be represented at APA sanctioned shows for a minimum of 5 years (I think). After this time, APA decides whether the proposed SOP is acceptable. And finally the breed or color variety has to breed true to meet qualifications for APA.

Unaccepted color varieties of accepted breeds are referred to as "project" colors.

I hope all of this made sense.

Ah, Fart Sniffers --- just had a conversation about them with DH (though in regards to a different topic) -- not sure if you ever watch South Park, but there is an episode about San Francisco that shows people so hung up on how progressive they are/how much better they are that they sniff their own farts---so I've come to apply that to all people who get all high and to the right about stuff like this..........
