I only brought it up cuz the PP mag mentioned it. Certainly i want nice looking birds, but just wondered with all the breeding and trying to develop to the standard if anyone was keeping track of the the important things like eggs and meat. I think the heritage breeds were developed for the utilitarianism of the birds. I'm not sure if they took into consideration a standard appearance. Does anyone know?
Also does anyone know when the "rosecomb" RIR's were developed? Does anyone here have them? What if anything can you tell me about them?
Back to the orps. I only have two hatchery girls and one has gone broody. Everyone likes their looks. Buff's of course but even they are nice birds.
Oh and the new Practical Poultry is out.
