Wow! The Louisiana State 4-H Poultry Show was spectacular I heard. A Black Orpington hen from our line won Best Orpington and there was a lot of Orpingtons there. Two exhibitors had our line. All four recognized colors were exhibited. Buff, Black, Blue and White.

The best list of "Heritage" breeds is at http://www.amerpoultryassn.com/APA%20Recognized%20Breeds%20and%20Varieties%20Sept2012.pdf
Scroll down the dates and anything admitted prior to 1965ish would be considered Heritage. Then there are some old breeds that never were accepted in the Standard...
In the end, the Heritage Committee of the APA will more than likely decide for us what terms to use. And now the ALBC director is on that committee. Did anyone from the SPPA get appointed to that committee?
Interesting what I heard on a video today! This is a great video for beginners and old timers alike! Jahdan (11) has watched this daily for weeks!
