Endangered breeds

[Oopoo]

Rocky Meadows,

Thanks for the offer. They would do well here. I need a little more time to figure out what I want.

Ok just let me know. I am always glad to help anyone trying to preserve.

I am working on getting some golden campines; I have a few contacts. Does anyone know of websites, etc where I could get some more information about this breed?

i got some kraenkoppes from sandhill but they are a noisy flighty breed. got some good cubalayas from sandhill

Noisy and flightly would probably be due to the Leghorn influence. Any other info? Which variety did you get?

Actually Delawares are not concidered a heritage breed. They are a modern breed. They were made after the cut off date for Heritage breeds.

Isn't that what Uno is?

This pic is from late summer '09. He is much, much more golden and majestic. He is one that came in a McMurray assortment.

Are those Lavender Silkies or just White? They are very pretty!

Cybercat I believe it was 1950 for the cut off date and Delaware were developed by George Ellis of Delaware in 1940 . Here is a video from American Livestock Breeds Conservancy that states what a Heritage chicken is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5YEsqpaIv8

Although I thought we were talking about Endangered breeds.
