  • Potentially silly question.....

    Hi,

    I've seen the initials LF and SF in various places. Does this mean large fowl and small fowl?

    Thanks

        Depends where you saw them - if chicken-realted, then LF is most probably large fowl, but SF is not commonly used for small fowl, the term bantam is more often used.

                  lol and here I thought :
                  L/F = Large Female
                  B/F - Big Female
                  S/F = Silly Female
                  H/F = Happy Female

                  *runs for cover and hides!*

                        LF is large fowl and SF is soft feather, so you could get something like an Orpington which was both LF and SF. The name bantam is used in Britain to denote both those chickens which are small versions of a large breed such as Sussex bantams, and those which have no counterpoint as a large breed, such as Pekin bantams, although the latter type are often referred to as 'true bantams' too. I believe that in certain countries the distinction is made with some equivalent of small fowl/large fowl/ true bantam being used.
                        Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
