Quamby chickens in the US?

[KS_Chicken_Wrangler]

So, I'm caught in a rabbit hole regarding Quamby chickens. Does anyone know if they have made their way to the States yet? I know they are in Australia, NZ, and Tasmania...just not sure to where they've branched out. Sounds like a bird that should be similar to the Bresse in regards to egg production and meat production. Just interested to see if anyone has any experience with them and if they are as good of layers and meat birds as I've been led to believe.

Thanks in advance!

These birds aren't exceptional by any means. That's why no one has imported them here, if they want birds with the same qualities they can just look or do the same work themselves.
Many people have taken a heritage breed and bred them for what they were originally created for: producing meat and eggs. And there are lots of American breeds that do just that. You just have to look around and find a breeder who breeds for production qualities; a New Hampshire breeder, for example, since this breed is most similar to New Hampshires.
But Aaron Baker and Michael Sullivan/Christopher McCary of the Buckeye world did that with Buckeyes.
Frank Reese raises lots of production breeds. The list goes on...

Good to know. I watched some Aussie homesteader and he was all about the Quamby. His birds were still young and he was in the trial stages, so I was curious what others knew instead of waiting a year to see what he finds out. LOL
