"So, this is proper?"

Yes.

Hey @EmmaRainboe, have you seen this thread?

THERE IS NO I IN AMERAUCANA. And the AU comes BEFORE the C. Period.

It depends on whether you are using American English or the Queen's English. I don't know why, but I tend to use British spelling and writing styles, and in those, it is correct to put the period after the quotes.

Oh, interesting. I didn't know that there were different ways of punctuating (aside from the Oxford Comma).

I was waiting for that.

Also “Maran” instead of Marans and “Faverolle” Instead of Faverolles drives me up the wall. French word. Keep the ‘s’ even when singular.

 

[chickentrains]

not chicken related

but its not shepard

or shephard

its shepherd.... they HERD not ARD or HARD

I think may times people that are typing on a phone don't have the opportunity to see what they are writing because it scrolls up. Also autocorrect is a killer also. If you're like me and have fat-finger-itis, it happens frequently!
With that being said, my pet peeves with proper grammar is not specific to the chicken world. My wife calls me the grammar/spelling police.

I'm sorry I say Faverolles always now, did you notice?

But if you do that, remember, you should also be spelling things like colour, neighbour, criticise, etc. the proper, British way.

True....

Er... may I point out the punctuation error in your signature, then, please?
You have the plural of "friend" written as "friend's."
