Interesting story! By coincidence I recently read a book that I'm sure you would find interesting as well. I found it interesting not only about the history of chickens in the US, but also the relationship to human diet and disease. Here's a link if you're interested:

Thanks so much for the shout out! Really interesting - I haven’t really thought about rare breed chicks before. These are layers I assume but I wonder if different breeds taste different.

Which is fine until they start spouting off in Latin. The other day one of them looked up at me and said, "gallus fortasse canit, gallina sed ova ponit."

Well, I couldn't argue the point, so I just said nothing.
