I can not believe what some of these people have said to tell you the truth. I keep my chickens as pets that I can carry around and pet and ENJOY. I breed to make pretty healthy birds. I would not cull unless one of my birds was unhealthy. Why does it really matter if they meet some standard if they are perfect to you? Come on guys, try to enjoy chickens for how funny they are, how friendly, etc. When you get sooo worried about standards, I truly believe you forget the whole point. Enjoy your birds and keep them healthy.
We do enjoy our birds. Why would you think we don't? Many of us have been raising and caring for these birds for decades. Why do we continue to do this when it cost so much if it were not for the love of our birds?
