I'm really afraid you're right about this. I am ordering a few from Ideal just to see if I can handle the care. My coop and run here will be covered and enclosed, but I do want a hardy bird that I don't have to pay "special" attention to.
Also, glad to hear you have heritage rabbits, too! Rabbits are my first love, but chickens are quickly gaining. I fully intended for Silver Fox to be my one breed, but it just so happened that I got good stock in Thriantas and I've become completely obsessed with them. Too bad they're slow growing 5 lb-ers!
