I'm from New Zealand, and haven't heard anything about native chickens, surviving or extinct. From what I remember from school, the Maori people brought with them dogs (a food source) and the polynesian rat (a stowaway), and no other domestic animals... pigs were introduced later...
i haven't read throu all of the posts im in nz & have got a breeding trio of dorkings ( 5 mths at this stage ) as they are quite rare over here & im in the process of getting some cochin eggs ( even rarer )
im hoping to have my breeding groups sorted for next season.
