I haven't decided on a breed yet, but I would like to help preserve a heritage breed. I'm open for suggestions for a bird that is the best combo of friendly, beautiful, and a great egg layer. Everything in my garden is heirloom, so it only makes sense to choose a heritage breed of chicken...
I'm having trouble finding a heritage breeder in my area (Nashville, TN.) Most of the breeders I have found, require a minimum order. I only want 2-3 chickens. Any recommendations out there?
