I apologize for my bad choice of words regarding poor stock. It was a wrongful generalization out of ignorance. I'm not trying to bash the hatcheries, after all, they do serve a purpose for people who only want meat, eggs and/or pets and have no interest in breeding to the Standard Of Perfection, and they do a remarkable job of supplying folks with those needs. I now realize that other breeds may be crossed in to promote egg production while trying to at least maintain the "visual aspect" of the original breed.
