Title: Buff Coloration in Poultry
Post by: Beth C on February 06, 2011, 04:46:16 PM: Does anyone know where I could get a hard copy of Buff Coloration in Poultry by Danne Honour? I found it on-line, but the file seems to be set up so that it can\'t be printed, and it doesn\'t seem to be offered for sale anywhere. It has a lot of good information but I\'ll go blind trying to read it all on a screen.

Danne Honour has a new book releasing soon:
BUFF COLORATION IN POULTRY (third edition 2010)
by Danne J. Honour.
Cover picture of BUFF LEGHORNS from 1904. This book contains (653 pages) and 379 articles on Buff, many by the great master BUFF breeders both past and present.
To order a copy contact: Ian Selby, P.O.Box 719, New Plymouth, 4340, New Zealand, http://www.poultrynz.com

I\'ve gone to that site and don\'t see the book listed, so it must not be out yet.
There is an article by him at...

Jean recently told me about a Dan Honour and said he is a breeder of buff...is that the same as Danne? If so I\'ve seen him post on another forum.

Post by: Beth C on February 06, 2011, 06:39:45 PM: Thanks, John! I sent an e-mail. The one on-line must be the 2nd edition - looks like he added quite a bit.

I\'m not sure if that\'s the same person or not, but thought you might know him, since you & Mike were quoted in the book.

Wow - that was fast! In the time it took me to post, got a response:

Hi,
I will be printing this book soon.
I don\'t know the price.
It will be on www.poultrynz.com when its ready.
Regards, Ian Selby

Post by: John on February 06, 2011, 06:59:42 PM: That is the same site that has the reprint of START WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE by Ralph Sturgeon...a little 44 page book that Mike and I have recommended and quoted from several times.

So, is Dan the same as Danne, the guy that has the book that Beth asked about?

Post by: Mike Gilbert on February 07, 2011, 10:08:36 AM: John, yes, Dan is Danne. He also posts on the showbirdbid forum. I do not and will not use the BYC forum after they deleted my post directing readers to this site for more info about Ameraucanas.

Post by: Beth C on February 07, 2011, 12:52:42 PM: Thanks Anne - nice that he\'s so accessible!

John: I was just thinking about that book the other day (after reading a discussion elsewhere about how only \"irresponsible\" breeders would pass on a \"flaw\" - glad they can find flawless birds :rolleyes:) It sounded interesting when you first mentioned it, and now that I know where to find it I think I\'ll order it.

I\'m not a big fan of BYC, either, but I never heard the story about your post being deleted - what happened?

Not much of a story. I was on a discussion thread talking about Ameraucanas, not pushing any agenda or anything, so thought I would post a link to this site. I received a stern warning that they would not tolerate links to other discussion forums. At that point I surmised they were more interested in market share for advertising revenue than they were in disseminating accurate information. Life is too short to deal with that kind of thing IMHO.

Post by: Birch Run Farm on February 08, 2011, 01:41:05 PM: But this forum is only open to members so your anger at BYC is kind of unwarrented, isn\'t it? ABC has rules, BYC has rules... Just saying!
Title: Buff Coloration in Poultry
Post by: Mike Gilbert on February 08, 2011, 03:15:30 PM: Nobody\'s angry. I just have better things to do in life than be censored for no good reason. I use the Showbirdbid array of forums, Classroom at the Coop, and several breed club discussion forums. That is plenty of time to spend on the internet.

Yes...all can view, but only members can post and only ABC members may be a forum member.

Post by: Beth C on February 12, 2011, 07:03:13 AM: I\'m starting to rethink selling on BYC:

http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=448485

Why on earth would someone pay $200+ for 6 eggs when they can buy 25 live chicks, box, shipping, vaccines and all, for the same money????

Wow...I could afford the chicken feed with that kind of money. Maybe I should be selling eggs.

Post by: Beth C on February 12, 2011, 10:54:52 AM: Yep, disheartening that I just cracked $100 into my pancake batter...

HONOUR’S POULTRY BOOKS

By Danne J. Honour 2013

I have updated my poultry books for 2013. I should say e-books as they are now too many pages to print on paper.So they are available on CD’s as word file docx format.These are greatly expanded editions with pictures and additional text. They contain great poultry history and breeding advice by the masters as well as fine illustrations. Much of the information I have gathered from my own poultry library collection, some I have written, but fear it may be lost if I do not make it available to those interested .

For a very limited time I will be selling these on CD –all 4 e-books for $50 plus $5 shipping. (Checks or Money Orders) Dan Honour,8 Old North Road,Apt. A , Amenia ,New York 12501 .

AMERICAN BREEDS OF SPANISH ANCESTRY 2013 , 1348 pages , many devoted to Minorcas.

BUFF COLORATION 2013 1126 pages ,all about buff color breeding in chickens.

ART OF BREEDING 2013 ,608 pages,many good general ,showing and breeding articles.Wonderful articles on Anconas,Dark Brown Leghorns , Long tailed fowls,and much more.

THOUGHTS ON WHITE LEGHORNS 2013 ,229 pages just on the popular White Leghorn ,more towards the exhibition side than commercial, but some good practical information .

Post by: Mike Gilbert on July 04, 2013, 08:39:43 PM: Dan sent me the CD about three weeks ago. Have not had a chance to look at it yet, but I will. We do correspond from time to time, but I don't remember ordering it.

Maybe you got a special promotional copy! :D
I have contemplated spending the $, but haven't talked myself into yet. Maybe you'll let me read thru yours this fall when we get together.
