Rarest breed of chicken in the US?

[usschicago1]

I miss this thread.....are bantam cornish considered rare? I know they have a small showing class, but I am not sure if they are considered "rare"

I think the Lamona is very rare. Some say extnct, but I have heard their are breeders who are working on this breed, but very quietly. I believe they were origanally developed from a dorking, leghorn, and rock. They are white in color. Someone in Wisconsin has bantam lamonas. Cant remember the name off hand. Feathersite has pictures of them.

We have a thread going of several of us working on this project. I have Splash and Calico Silkied Ameraucanas.

I also keep Silkied bantam Cochins and I have South American breeds that I'm working on for conservation.

Partridge Chanteclers are another I'm keeping that haven't many around.

I wouldn't call Silkied Ameraucanas a breed, but yes, those are freaky rare.

Only ever saw ONE person post a photo of their own birds from the U.S.

'Tis why I mentioned Oriental Gamefowl, and I think those sort of can fit in there too.

There are reasons why the silkie amerucauna are rare. In all honest if someone tried to give me I would have said no thinking it was disesed. That is until yesterday when i found.out kinda.creep
