Work in progress - Our new Breeds forums :-)

[Tim]

Hello all,

I'm creating a set of new forums (look at the bottom of the index page), one for each breed of poultry (and one for hybrids too). I will add the photos I have taken over the years to each of these as I go, it's a big task though as they aren't sorted by breed on my hard drive.

Please feel free to add any breed specific information to these forums, they are rather empty at the moment

The best breed information posted will get made 'Sticky', as will a good photos thread - but we won't lock these threads, you can thadd to them, but we will be strict about staying on topic in these forums. Breed specific information only please for the benefit of others wanting to learn about a breed.

I will move the old 'Breed of the Month' posts across slowly as some of the information is really good.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them and I hope from the breeds we all keep this will be a useful resource we can contribute to and use in future.

Thanks!
Tim

(Mods this post will be sticky for 14 days...)

Oh and I should also say if there's a breed you keep that isn't complete yet and want it bumped to the front of the queue, let me know here and I'll get it done next.

I'll try to do something on TNN's Tim. Now that we have bred them and have them free ranging as well I can see that some stuff written isn't so accurate and they are certainly not docile and friendly, as one publication claimed. Unfortunately I will only have photos of all blacks, which isn't the natural colouration.

That's brilliant, thanks Chris. Black does seem to be the most common colour - although overall, I don't see many of them, they are very rare now :-(
