He broke the colors out since we are breeding for specific colors in these strains.

Still a work in progress but moving forward each generation.

I thought NPIP numbers were for the individual farm/breeder/keeper, not the breed or variety?

Same here, Sonoran. Unless some states have set up some wacky system that makes no sense.

Maybe it was a one time test for specific birds for a show? I know I had to have that done for Shawnee, but I don't recall that they listed variety, just number of birds and maybe their breeds?

in maine, each breed has a number and some colors have another number. I'd like to find the list too. mine usually get listed as just the breed since I have many colors that are not reconized. here is the national list with numbers

In Oklahoma a NPIP is a participant number for the individual and or a farm. This is interesting that some states categorize for each breed.
