These are the New Hampshires I recently purchased. I got them from Doug Akers in Illinois.

Here they are on our trip home...

I tried to get some better pictures but it was so darned windy here. Anyway ..... I gotta tell ya, I did not know New Hampshires were so beautiful. They really are.....

Hey Kathy, wanna compare?

Hatchery quality New Hampshire (but I still love her )

Some VERY nice New Hampshires you have!

. . . I can only imagine the weight difference between mine and yours. . .

I don't expect there are many Houdans bred to the American Standard in France either. Why would one expect American breeders to breed to a Standard that doesn't apply to them?

But what I mean is the American version is not true to the actual French breed.

I understood what you meant but so what? Rhode Island Reds were developoed in the US but the ones bred in Britain are very different from Us birds. The same is true of wyandottes. Where is it written that one country must adhere to another country's standards.

I totally get what you are saying, and you obvoiusly know more about them then I do so I should just back off

Very nice birds Kathy.

I wonder if this list is based on more how many flocks meet this standard instead of how many individual birds. If disease gets in a flock, then the whole flock is at risk regardless of number of birds. I'd feel better about 10 flocks of 50 birds each than two flocks of 1000 birds each.

I thought the reason Lamona was on the study list is because they are quite possibly extinct. But really, I'm glad I'm not the one responsible for coming up with the ranking and the list. It sounds like an impossible task.

Kathy, I've already told you your birds make me weak in the knees.

Sorry to contribute to the thread going astray!
