There not true heritage breeds. There a production type breed.

The most difficult conversation I have with folks regarding poultry is the one trying to describe the difference between so called heritage breeds and true heritage breeds. I often just cant make the point.

If you read this thread from the beginning, I think you will understand that there is a BIG difference. That is the purpose of this thread, to explain that there is a difference.

And, ya know, Bob gets chest pains when he sees those hatchery birds claiming to be heritage.

Thanks Walt..... I am sure we run into you at the shows. I think there are some breeders with better birds than ours.....just depends on what the judge of the day likes.

Mrs. Turbo,
I took some pictures today of my birds that you and Jerry sent me. I was going to wait until they settled in but they are such well mannered and friendly birds that I had no problem bringing them out and putting them back!!

Here are you babies and again, thank you so much for sharing them with me. I have waited for this breed for a long time and never found any that I felt I had to have until I saw yours. They completely live up and exceed what I had hoped for. Thank you.

Thanks SnowHunter but I can't take one little bit of credit here. They just arrived from Foleys last week! They get all the praise.
