What is the difference between typical RI Red and the Heritage? I love my Reds!

She is quite cute! I love the pic.

We're still waiting for TSC to get chicks in. But honestly we have called every grain store around and nobody has chicks yet here in MA! I have 13 RI/NH Reds but am dying to raise some chicks.

We are getting some RI Reds from a neighbor who is moving. We live in MA so it gets relatively cold in the winter. I've read that I'm not doing the birds any favors by supplementing heat in the winter. My husband will be building a draft free secure coop. I'm assuming from what I've been...
