Can I use a number rather than a name? I buy my chickens' names by the box 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, etc., etc., etc. as leg bands.

Also I don't understand what you mean by endangered rate. How does one come up with that number.

I have some very rare breeds so could participate.
I own about 20% of all of one of them that exist in the US.

















.

 

[Farming Frenzy]

yes numbers instead of names are fine

by endangered rate I mean that- if your chicken is VERY rare, it will be close to 90%
if your chicken is the rarest breed ever then it will be 100%
if your chicken is just rare or a bit rare it will be 50-70%

is that easier to understand? thanks

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Yes thanks. The percentages will be estimates.

[jak2002003]

You mean rare BREED or VARIETY of chicken, not SPECIES.

 

[Farming Frenzy]

yeah sorry about that great pics

 

[DEBlues]

Delaware Blue Roosters. I'm not even sure how to quantify their rarity in a percentage. Maybe 70? They seem to be pretty common in Delaware, but somewhat hard to find anywhere else.

Wow i've never seen poultry like that here in NZ. They look like blue rosecombs! Beautiful
