What breed

Where's a list of heritage breeds? I'm not real interested in breeding them, since I guess you could say I'm strictly a gamefowl breeder. The only non-games I intend to raise are the Kraienkoeppes (which at one point were game), but am still curious.

Interesting.. Question though, how come the American game (even in the bantam form which is registered by the ABA/APA) isn't listed as a heritage breed? From the definition I would say they adhere to it.

That is problems with American Livestock Breeds Conservancy "Definition" for heritage fowl.
They don't even have Spanish, Old English (Large Fowl) most Orientals etc.
Game Fowl is part of every Nation's Heritage and one of the oldest (if not the oldest) breeds of "chicken". So I would think that they would be at the top of the list.
Heck, Game Fowl were one of the only breeds of fowl that was on the Mayflower.
