Endangered Chicken Links

Sorry about the delay in posting promised links associated with last weeks backyard chicken broadcast. I've been a little distracted by the suspense of wondering if our broody hen, Quinoa, will hatch the fertilized quail eggs we snuck under her. We may be breaking new ground here - I can't find any evidence of anyone else encouraging a chicken to hatch and raise quail although I've heard plenty about chickens bringing ducks up. My own observation is that some hens really want to experience motherhood and Quinoa has that personality. We really don't have enough space for more birds in the backyard (not to mention the city code limiting us to 3 hens) so I'm hoping they hatch and get some early instruction and then leave to explore the wide world (maybe coming back to visit us from time to time). Most importantly, I hope Quinoa find the experience rewarding. If it works out, I'll do an episode on it. Below are the links on endangered chicken breeds.
