Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the poultry breeds suitable for the production of eggs and meat for the table, in contrast to the ornamental and fancy breeds more commonly seen in the competitive poultry shows that have encouraged their proliferation. The author argues that while many fancy breeds have little to no value in egg or meat production, the older varieties provide superior characteristics for both purposes. The book details how selective breeding for cosmetic show standards has led to the decline of desirable qualities such as breast plumpness and acceptable egg production. The author advocates for a return to breeding practices that prioritize practical function in selecting stock for breeding. The book provides a detailed account of the history of various breeds, including Cochins, Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, and Wyandottes, and includes recommendations for crossbreeding them with more productive heritage breeds, such as the English Game, Dorking, and Indian Game. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
