please help with all these abreviations

[rhoda_bruce]

Please....can someone clarify what all these abreviations are for. RIRs are obvious as well as a few others that I can figure out easily but sometimes I just look at them and say,"UUHHHH???"

EE are Easter Eggers. That's all I know for chickens.

Things like DH, DW, DD, DS- those are family members. Dear hubby, wife, daughter, and son.

 

[HEChicken]

BR = Barred Rock
PR = Plymouth Rock
BA = Black Australorp
BSL = Black Sex Link

ummm...that's all I can think of for now. Can you post specific acronym's you've seen that you wondered about and people could then tell you what those mean?

OEGB was one that had me stumped for a long time. I think it's Old English Game Bantam?

 

[rhoda_bruce]

yes!!!
I was looking for OEGB, but couldn't find it. I knew it started with an O and I knew a few of the other letters, but didn't remember the order......Okay, you are probably right.
But what about these.....
OE........SLW.......NH ( New Hampshire???)......PR ( Partridge Rock???)....WR......GC
and whatever else. If I can make a list I will keep it in one of my chicken books or self sufficient books. These letters are causing me some confusion. I mean I have been talking about chickens forever, but not on a computer and I probably could understand better if I knew what they meant.
