This fall gonna get red pyle oegb. Hoping to get ABG next year (with only 100 breeders in the US hoping to get a conservation flock going).

Love OEGBs, even if they are game in name only.

What does ABG stand for?

Super icy day today.

Glad it's not like that here, although the wind and is pretty ridiculous right now. I ran out to check on the birds just a bit ago and it felt like someone was running alongside me with a sprinkler spraying at me the whole time.

Definitely do so. I've unfortunately known of two breeds in the US either extinct or at the doors of it, and been watching Game breeds be in the cross hairs with rising animal rights activists.

I do love me some of the new import breeds (part of my flock feral flock is a literal mix of them) but it definitely has hit the american breeds hard. Less people breeding quality heritage types.

Breaks my heart. Had I all the space in the world, I'd love to preserve more heritage type breeds as well. My focus ( / obsession ) is silkie-feathered mutants and that's what I want to preserve the most, but I also love so many heritage breeds and wish there was more interest in them and less in fad import breeds, hybrids, and 'making my own breed' barnyard mixes that don't go anywhere. I can see the importance in preserving import breeds and I love several of them as well, but it seems a new one comes along every few years and then the last is dropped like a rock, meaning it dies out as well. It's a shame. I really don't think many realize how absolutely spectacular a properly heritage-bred Plymouth Rock, New Hampshire, Jersey Giant, Rhode Island Red, etc. is when compared to a hatchery specimen, even those hatcheries claiming to provide 'heritage-bred' versions of those breeds. Seeing good quality birds of those breeds in show is absolutely awe-inspiring, even almost breathtaking to me. But they're just the boring old breeds that everyone has, whereas fad breeds and hybrids, those are new and shiny!

Anyway, mini-rant over I guess. Which breeds are you referring to that are extinct or close to it?

American Game Bantam.

I do have my "accidentally" barnyard project that I'm keeping for funsies but not planning to sell as a breed.

Pycheons and Kraienkoppe. Rusty (Pycheons) hasn't been seen or heard of for a long time and he was up there in years. Kraienkoppe I am friends with the person who was working on them but because he had to move etc had to stop, he still wants to do it and has the set up just needs the time. Sandhill have both gold and silver stock but I don't know the quality. I have one of the last few F1 one hens from my friend on the property and she pushing ten years old.

And yeah, I do love some of the "fad" breeds but the APA and ABA standard breeds are in many ways endangered because of people chasing the money.
