befor i go find the book this web site...britanic rare breeds way down on the chicken page gives the recipe they used in the varieties.a white dorkng cock was used with this and that.. ,. ...........did not know this either but the recipie for buffs was pretty close to that too...walt will very much like this page.
i could see so many differences between the group..now i kind of understand why..the blk recipe was so different than the rest...
