Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

Quote:
Urch Turnland poultry is a hatchery but its a show quality hatchery. Urch- Turnland poultry are master breeders of 6 breeds.

In other words, when you have to take 3 or 4 heritage breeds, to make a 2nd breed, can you really call it a breed or just a selctively choosen mutt ?

None of our "breeds" of poultry or other livestock for that matter exist in nature. They're all the result of selective breeding &/or mutation. This is no more true of Lamonas than it is of Plymouth Rocks or Leghorns. [ Before all you Jungle Fowl proponents jump on me they're the exception]​

Techincaly Duane Urch is a hatchery. But he is also an APA and ABA General Licensed judge. Thus he will have closer to the standard than any hatchery.

I have no idea who Urch is, was just told by someone a few days ago that he has nice stock.

I guess that is so very true now that I think of it...like dogs...they all have been selectively bred and inter bred to become what they are today~
I gotta go mess with the brooder again, darn it !

NYREDS,

What is meant by above in respect to jungle fowl? I have such a comment before but seem to be missing point.

Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are said to be a subspecies of the Jungle Fowl.
Some say the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) others say the Grey Junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii).

The administrator of BYC has a thread going. It is asking us what we would like to see on BYC. Suggestions for additions or improvements. Thought you all may have some ideas.

I suggested an area for advanced fanciers or for our experts, and an area where specific breed clubs could communicate. I don't know if that makes sense or not .... If you have ideas, here is the thread ...
