heritage breed

I bought some barred rocks from a hatchery. I'm interested in having them for my own food but also to help maintain a valuable heritage breed into the future. I'm hatching extra chicks to sell into the local area and I'm wondering what "pure breed" means exactly. I obviously do not have show...

Hello! I work for a 1920's history farm located in West Lafayette Indiana. We have a flock of 66 chickens, along with 4 turkeys, and 14 ducks. Part of our mission is to educate the public about animal husbandry. We pride ourselves in having heritage breed birds to share with guests. I am looking...

I'm new, so per the registration instructions, here are my answers: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We just bought a coop and were readying to buy chickens (we wanted heritage breeds and are finding most hatcheries are marketing as heritage but they aren't really...

Much like Frank Reese I think purchasing chicks from Allen Smith is a non-starter, except maybe if they do another poultry workshop. I’m in search of a source for non-exhibition Aylesbury duck. Haven’t heard of anyone other than one of these two that have them. Maybe there will be a listing...

I have a beautiful group of Dominique from several breeders that work on SOP. I have not personally shown any in the group but two of the hens have been shown before I got them. $3 per egg. I am NPIP and can ship. Thank you.

Does Free-ranging affect the tenderness of the meat or is age more likely to affect it? We are raising Chanteclers- a dual purpose Heritage breed and we have some older birds that are no longer laying and wondered if they would only be suitable for soup because of their "toughness" from age...

Hi, I'm in Santa Rosa and looking for Cream Legbar (Rees Line), BFCM (Bev line), Coronation Sussex, Birchen Maran, Ameriflower, Sweedish Flower or any rare heritage breed. PM me.

So the plan was to buy some Narragansetts (or something similar) this year and raise to sell for eating, and so I can collect the feathers. Then I found Porter's crossbreed turkeys and am in love with the pencilled palms and similar. I am wondering if anyone here has the pencilled or any other...
