I live in southwest NM and want chickens who can deal with heat, drought and hunting raptors. I got random-breed hens from a local guy and have collected others at farmer's market and a rooster from a fighting-bird breeder. The rooster wouldn't fight. None of them claims any breed, but they all seem to know where to sleep, how to watch the sky, what to scratch and peck and they can smell water. They have also learned my "come and get it" call. Their first hatch of babies is now trying it out for themselves. In Virginia, I had Buff Orpingtons I liked very much.
