Welcome to Open Poultry Standards Australia. This Wiki contains public domain poultry standards and information for those who are seeking free sources that they may use and share under the creative commons licence. Note that we are not trying to be the official Australian Poultry Standards. That already exists. We are trying to collate public domain information and add what we know in order to provide a source of information (that is not inconsistent with the APS), for those who do not have the official standards yet, whether that's because of financial hardship or whether they are in the early stages of their breeding and haven't acquired them yet.
