There is a new term that is used for breeding but not for show birds and it is called Heritage. Ofcourse this is limited to when a breed was developed meaning that any breed after 1950 is not considered heritage but modern. Anyway when one is Hertiage breeding one is working with the SOP but keeping production in mind for meat, eggs and feathers. Remember many breeds are desired for there feathers also for craft and fishing. This is my goal not show birds but bringing back to what there were heritage wise. In most cases that is bringing size and weight up and getting them to breed true. Most hatchery stock is a bit mixed even though the first will look lik breed once bred you just might get more than you bargained for in offspring.
