I am having fun raising chickens. I think I will get some heritage birds next time since I already have some great layers. Any suggestions, anyone?

I have always been partial to the New Hampshire and Rhode Island Reds. Maybe that's because I have always lived in New England and it was the most popular bird around, but to me they are great all around birds.

I always liked the Rhode Island Reds. I may get these and some others the next time I get little chicks.
