Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that that most of the lighter, Mediterranean, Hamburg, etc, types of breeds are not being kept or bred much? Or is that just my mistake? If you search on here, there are little to no threads or discussions of Spanish, Minorca, Catalana, Hamburgs, Redcaps, etc. I am starting be be afraid the white egg layers, except for leghorns, are falling fast out of fashion. Another breed I can hardly find anything about are LF Moderns. If I was ever going to add another breed, it would definetly be a lighter breed of some sort. It's kind of depressing there can be hundreds of pages written about some of the popular heavy breeds, and practically nothing about these old lighter breeds. Does anyone know who has good examples of these breeds? What are the flaws with the hatchery versions? Are they really so terrible to warrant so little attention? Also, my apologies for throwing the Moderns in here, I am aware they don't really "fit", except that they are seemingly not popular?
