The list is updated yearly. You should see the poultry census they do ... really detailed ... it's pretty cool! There are a several popular "hatchery breeds" on the Conservation Priority List - including Jersey Giants and Delawares.

"Threatened" doesn't mean "on the edge of extinction," It means their numbers are limited. Specifically, the LC describes a "Threatened Breed" as having:

"Fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the United States and estimated global population less than 5,000."

Five thousand may seem like a lot of chickens - but that's a world-wide number. A single commercial egg- or meat-production farm would hold that many!

So, yes, some hatcheries carry them, but in limited numbers. many people have them as part of their mixed flocks, but don't breed them. "Threatened" means just that - not in imminent danger, but in need of careful, purposeful conservation, so we don't lose them.

If anyone is interested in the parameters for the list, you can find it here:

Okay, I'll delete my post due to mis-info. Thanks for correcting. How do they do the consensus? I didn't see anything about it on the website.
 
And yet again, I am ashamed. Always letting me down.
Girl I’m just messing with you.

Favs might have beards and lovely color, but it is ruined by their feathered feet. Ick.
