Nats Chickens
Free Ranging
I would like some pure breds because I have never had one before plus they live longer then the crosses. And if my parents let me get a roo I can muck around with the genes and create some wacky lookin chooks. There are about ten or fifteen different breeds I'd like but I'll see what's avaliable in a year or two.
Chickens don't have to be purebred to be beautiful or productive. It is fun to do some pure breeds though, you can really learn a lot about how to improve certain traits. And how complicated that can be!
