Personally, Whether the eggs came from a cross of two breeds of chickens or one, is not the only sustainable means of survival. Look at ancient corn and corn today, and the strains considered heirloom. They were bred from ancient corn that does not resemble corn today to give more grain per ear, thus more food. If you look at several breeds of poultry that are considered heirloom, they were bred from other breeds of chickens. I've been off a few days and maybe I am just tired, but I feel that I keep picking up the same note of "we are better than _X!X#X_ because we raise our eggs and some of us our own meat. I do not agree with all the practices and feel strongly our livestock should be fed healthy food and kept in environments that are clean and healthy. I do know that the majority of people in the egg and meat business are in a labor of love and work hard for small profits.The farms with the salmonella eggs is also the dept of ag's fault, they need to make sure that the farms are tested and inspected. I'll get off my soap box now. Cathryn

Heirloom lines are stable, well established genetics which can reproduce
indefinitely. The best of all worlds is heirloom lines and organic
growing/raising, both in plants and animals. This is the only truly
sustainable means of survival, and should be the goal of every true
survivalist.
