Orange Ribbon I had very similiar experiences right down to the "birds wiped out by predators or something". I did not feel like these folks were taking me seriously. I did feel that I had been judged "unworthy" to have their birds. All I can say is that "WE MUST DO IT DIFFERENT". We must be willing to share our birds / eggs once we reach the point of having some nicer, sought after stock.
I found breeders to be closed mouth about the things they have learned. Very few are as gracious as Don has been. Very few are willing to share the years of acquired wisdom. Without Don and Walt ( snowbird and fowlman01) this thread would not exist! There has to be more BYC breeders out there who have worked with the SS amd there are more poultry judges on BYC that could help with advice.... All I can say is that "WE MUST DO IT DIFFERENT". We must be willing to share our information.
I started this thread to help with these goals. With Don's help, I bet you in a year or two we will be on the way to having some nice SS and a group of breeders really trying to reach the SOP. Just seeing indianfeathers rooster has helped me refine my eye.... Thank you, Indianfeathers, for posting the boy.
I tried to start this thread before and there were people interested, but no one to guide us. I found many people were selling SS, but had no idea what the SOP was or how close their birds were to it. "WE MUST DO IT DIFFERENT". We are going to have to learn what the SOP for SS is suppose to look like. We need to know this to purchase good birds and to do the best job breeding.
Thanks again to Don and Walt for helping us along with this goal.
