I raise (and hopefully breed in the future) the Icelandic landrace chicken that's on that list as threatened. There are just over 3000 of them on the entire planet, 2000 of which are still in Iceland. There is a small group of dedicated folks attempting to preserve the amazing, unique genetics of these amazing birds brought to Iceland by the Vikings.There are over fifty endangered chicken breeds, as well as nearly three dozen types of ducks, geese, and turkeys currently threatened with extinction in the United States alone, according to The Livestock Conservancy, an organization dedicated to saving endangered farm animals from extinction.
Just thought you'd like to know.
