I'm glad you posted that up there Walt. I've been thinking about tearing down my 35 year old (my first original unit) I hand built out of a 40 something year old commercial broiler house that was destroyed by a tornado that I repurposed/freecycled the materials for. I still use it as rooster pen/condo and for 100,000 bucks I'll keep on patching/proping it back up for a spell, atleast till I sell enough eggs and chickens to be able to afford them a Heritage hen farm LOL

What a great country! Whefre else in the world could you buy a $100,000 coop for a few chickens. And they say our culture is in decline.

You also get the services of a heritage poultry expert. Probably someone you counseled right here on BYC.

I think its time for me to play with blue chickens. They are so pretty. Also, Seromas maybe a Sroma Frizzle in blue.

Got to take my medications and go out side and work.

First it was Mr. Silkie, now Frizzled Seramas. I'm starting to worry about you my friend.

Wow, after lurking on this thread for a while I finally finished reading it all. So much good info on here! Came over from lurking on the OT 10-20 years thread, still gotta go back and finish reading that one. But this thread has been my focus as I try to decide which heritage breed I want to get into. Had chickens (and rabbits, pigs, and goats) as a kid, did 4H, etc. Recently back into chickens, purposely bought feed store chicks last two years while I decided if I wanted to get serious or just get eggs. Now that I'm hooked...time to pick a breed.

Although some of the NH and white rock pics almost made me change my mind, I'm leaning towards a non-single comb, darker colored breed, maybe partridge Chanteclers, rose comb RIR, or buckeyes. I do love the look of a well bred Wyandotte, but was thinking I might prefer a tight feathered breed. Any breeds I missed or pros/cons of the ones I listed?

Tight feathers? Like a Malay? Or something like that? Those are some tight feathers!
