Yeah, I've seen those... I'm obviously talking about the REAL thing, where can you get those?

LOL yeah it does heheheheee. That jungle fowl does look very very cool................that comb is awesome....... I figure it would take the hatcheries all but 45 nano seconds to mess that bird up beyond recognition.

Okay, just wanted to make sure I understood you

Wow, hatcheries would not just mess that bird up--they would destroy it!

Let's see, they'd either take the real thing and dope it with Leghorns to make it lay better, or they would mix a bunch of sickly Mediterranean breeds together and hope they got something similar.

How true........... how very true.......... you hit the nail on the head. But you failed to mention the 400 bazillion people who could care less what they were getting and still order them for $2.50 each delivered to there doorstep and be tickled pink to get them, cause of course the whole little cute factor............

I just really like seeing and raising birds in the true form and beauty............... Kinda like having a hatchery mutt and then wanting to go Organic all the way, what's up with that. It's the way of the world, and it's all good I guess.

Im with you 100% Al on the heritage breeds. We have too many breeds here that need rejuvinating and the energy of new fanciers to care for them but the goofy, strange colors always seem to attract the newbies.

Hoping to make an impact with some Heritage breeds in the upcoming years. Perhaps its because I am getting older and more nostalgic.

There are few people that have them. Most of them are technically more like pheasants than chickens, and I believe there are some that are arial nesters too.

But it would likely take a good bit of searching to find some
