HELP!!! Is there a place to find out what all the ACRONYMS mean???

[mick&cori]

I'm a newbie - obviously... I really need help with some of these acronyms.

Is there a place to find out what all these acronyms stand for?

So, based on how they are used - DH is some human (dumb human - that would be me if so)

CX is some chicken???

HELP!!

All I have figured out is:

RIR - Rhode Island Red
TSCO - Stock symbol for Tractor Supply Company

Hello and welcome to BYC (BackYard Chickens)! I know how you feel... it took me quite some time to figure out what DH (Dear Husband or Darn Husband, depending on context) meant along with many others! As a starting guide, here are some common acronyms that you'll commonly find around the site.
BYC=backyard chickens
SLW=silver laced Wyandotte
BTW=black tailed white
BTB=black tailed buff
DD=dear daughter or darn husband
This is just a small start, but I hope this helped you a bit!

Oh, and thank you, thank you, thank you.

I almost forgot my manners.

CX might be Cornish Cross but....I'm not sure. I've had chickens all my life and some of these Acronyms people are using are new to me

Also...
RIR=rhode island red
BOSS=black oil sunflower seeds
LF=large fowl
BF=Bantam fowl
DM=dear mother
DS=dear son
FS=for sale
GLW=gold laced Wyandotte
Hope these helped some more

Perfect!! I am saving this post. Maybe people can continue to add to it... that way if we don't know what something is.... we can refer to this. Y'all are great!!

Well, there are 2 meanings for PR could be Plymouth rock or Production Red
NH = New Hampshire
BO = Buff Orpington
CX yes, that means Cornish cross

 

[Tanichca]

CX is Cornish X, Cornish Cross.
Other acronyms are BBS (Blue/Black/Splash, a series of colors) and then Chicken breeds are often made into acronyms because its easier to write the names out shortly. (like WFBS, White Faced Black Spanish)
My personal favorite acronyms, though, are COE/G (Council of Elders/Geezers of BYC) and, of course, COY (The Council of Youngers!)
