Hello, friends!
This was just on my mind lately: has anyone accomplished something such as raising every breed of chicken? Of course there are thousands of undocumented breeds but maybe someone who has raised all breeds the APA acknowledges or perhaps someone who has raised at least one of every 156 breeds listed here on BYC. I don't necessarily mean at the same time either, maybe throughout one's life. Although picturing a farm with 100+ different breeds would surely be a sight to behold.
It's something I'd like to do one day, to be able to say I've raised one of every major breed of chicken and then some. Because let's be honest, when it comes to breeds, why should you have to choose? Just get all of them because they're all good in their own way. Hypothetically, it would not be practical to raise that many at once without all the proper housing and taking certain considerations for each breed. Would you consider a standard and bantam of the same type to be two different breeds? Just something to think about, what do you think?
PS. New Egg here, sorry if this is in the wrong section or anything
