Where can I find the SOP?

[Ch1cken Tender]

Where is the SOP? I’m looking into breeding at some point, and I was wondering where on Earth I could find the standards. I don’t really have a specific breed in mind; I’m more interested in the general researching of the many breeds I have. Also, it would be fun to buy the book, but usually the price is rather high… if there’s anywhere I can Google, that would be perfect!

I've seen a couple on specific breeds breed club websites but for the most part I don't think you'll find many online anywhere.
Ya the book is pricey and it would be hard to keep it that way if the information was free all over the web.

Thank you for replying. I’ll look into a few breed clubs to get an idea of the standard. Thanks!

You can try checking Ebay or similar for a used copy, although I wouldn't go back too many editions.
