Where did you buy it from? I got mine from the APA and it only cost $60.

Oops, i never saw this. I bought it from Amazon, everywhere i found it the lowest i could find was like $85 for used. I just figured i would do $100 for brand new.

Tomorrow is a video presentation on using your new SOP. It will be on Utube also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125/permalink/548473663338132/
The SOP is copyrighted so you can be fined for posting pictures from it with out permission from APA. States this on website and in the book. Besides just the breed standard is not all the information some of the most important information is in the first 30 pages.

Thank you


You are right, but the book doesn’t contain it all and i can’t show or find everything, just was showing what i could.

I remember how excited I was to get my sop then I got it and was like I paid $60 for this. Then a breeder showed me how to use it and it has become an invaluable tool to improve your lines with selection and learn to identify early culls to get them off your feed bill.
The presentation tomorrow is APA judged and breeders explaining how to used it.

Ah, okay. Im very confused. I think your saying if you know what your doing with breeding and perfection its useless? If thats the case, no way i can memorize all 500 something pages of not just chickens, but other poultry aswell. Appreciate the advice though.

Just a little confused how culling and feed got into the mixture.

The book is worth every penny to me, no matter if everyone else already knows that stuff (and more, because it doesn’t include everything) Its a great start for me to get a guide off of.

No I’m sorry didn’t mean to confuse you. The SOP is everything to a breeder. It gives you the guidance to move your lines forward. 1) it gives you the head to toe description of what the breed should look like 2) it gives you all the faults to cull from the breeding program, for your breed and the first 30 pages give examples that apply to all breeds 3) it gives you the point chart to evaluate each of yours bird against each other so you are able to choose the very best.
So to breed toward improving and you can’t keep everything you hatch, even master breeders cull 90% of what they hatch. To move forward they hatch hundreds of chicks, it’s the rules of 10: for every 100 chicks 10 will be worthy of breeding and 1 will be worthy to take to a show. Culling only means removing them from the breeding group because they are not your best or have a default. It can mean moving them to your pet/egg laying flock, rehoming them to someone else for a pet or egg layer and yes some people do process and eat their culls. This is where feed bill comes in it’s expensive to hatch and raise 100’s of chicks so knowing the defaults and defects early let’s you sell to pets homes or process for eating.
