Nat Geo - Heirloom Chickens

"People eat more eggs and poultry than ever, but the world’s reliance on a few high-yielding breeds is edging out hundreds of others: Nearly a third of chicken breeds are at risk of extinction. That’s alarming because many varieties have traits, like heat or pathogen resistance, that could be invaluable in the future."

I have a speckled hamburgh bantam, her name is Messy or Eunice. Depends on the day.

Thanks to my friend @sarahnow for the heads up.
