Is this hen a New Hampshire Red?

It is much easier to become recognized if they are currently recognized by the ABA. Let me look into that for you. I am pretty sure it still requires that 5 breeders have raised them for 5 years and they breed true, but let me look. They will have to breed true, but that is just how they phrase it.

The ABA and the APA are finally working together on the Standards.

Thanks Walt....I think you're right....But....I don't know if and when I could get 4 other breeders that have had them for 5 years and if everyone elses birds meet the standards...I've seen very few.... We are all working on that though.....maybe someday?

yes, you have to have the five year/five person thing. We just qualified American Game Bantams a year ago and that is what they supplied. I will help in any way I can short of raising one more breed.

I am part of a group that is showing and getting the five years in for KO Shamo's. I have had them for two years now, and others a lot longer. Part of the breed characteristics is a split wing, so this is going to be interesting.
