Breeds with long careers

BE, BJG, BCM are proving to be what I expected from free range birds and each have traits I'd like to see carried on. I would say the stated desires of the OP would be met by most heritage breeds.

BE? I assume the B stands for black. Clarify, please?

Thanks. I have all three of those in my flock, at least a few generations back.
