Livestock Conservancy Information
At Hen Scratch Acres, we are dedicated to the conservation of rare and heritage breed chickens. Our efforts focus on preserving genetic diversity and promoting responsible breeding practices. We aim to increase awareness and encourage others to join us in this vital mission.
Conserving the Jersey Giant
The Jersey Giant is currently listed as "recovering." At Hen Scratch Acres, we are committed to ensuring the breed continues its recovery. We maintain careful breeding programs to support their unique traits and prevent further decline.
Watching Over the Cochin
Cochins are listed as "watch." Our efforts include maintaining a healthy flock and carefully monitoring their population. By adhering to breed standards, we help to preserve the Cochin's distinctive characteristics. We cull our chickens to keep the ones matching breed standards.
Recovering the Polish
The Polish chicken is another breed we are working to bring back from the brink. Listed as "recovering," we selectively breed our Polish chickens. This helps maintain their unique crests and vibrant plumage. We keep all our breeds seperate. To ensure against a mixed oops.
