What about american game breeds, which ones have the best body structure? (I realize that there are some breeders who are generally not having SOP birds, but what about on average)
What would be a good breed (possibly a hatchery, as in normal breed, ie RIR, BR, BO, etc., or gamefowl) to use to add stature and width, not just fat, to a flock? Also, I would like to stay away from oriental-faced birds (that cornish, asil, shamo, etc. face)
Do you know any standard breeding Orpington breeders in TN? I realize from their SOP description that they're supposed to be much bigger than the hatchery varieties, and I don't know any standard breeders in TN.
