Description
Chickens have existed for millennia, and today, you can discover a host of diverse breeds -- from short to tall, big combs to small ones, iridescent feathers to detailed patterns, and a spectrum of interesting personalities and hardiness traits. But many poultry breeds are falling into endangerment. Why are they in critical state, and what can people do to help bolster their population? In this episode, Jeannette Beranger of The Livestock Conservancy features a few of these fowl – some endangered and some simply unusual – to make the case that a diverse collection of poultry make for a healthier, more valuable world.
