Excellent question. Hatchery Minorcas have two things in common with standard birds. They are black and have white earlobes, that's it. I guess bottom line is I in some way want to keep the traditional type alive. They were very popular prior to the "leghorn age" I assure you it's not based on economics although I farm for a living.
