the ixworth breed?

[sydney13]

ever heard of the ixworth? i saw them in a poultry book and was wondering if anybody has or knows something about them. do any hatcheries sell them? They are supposed to be extremely rare

They seem like a really neat breed! Here's an old thread about them, it doesn't say much but you might find something useful in it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=269656

You've been reading British poultry books, haven't you?

I've read some, too, and seen many other interesting breeds besides the Ixworth - with great names, like Marsh Daisy and Scotts Dumpy!

There's a previous thread you may want to read:

So far as I know, there aren't any in the US - but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!
