Standard Varieties of Chickens

This near-century old U. S Department of Agriculture book, "Standard Varieties of Chickens: Ornamental Breeds and Varieties" is a great addition the library of all those interested in Ornamental chicken breeds. It was first published in 1921. This book focuses solely on individual Ornamental breeds and the different varieties, their traits and histories, and provides a wealth of information for the small or large scale producer of meat and eggs. This book features Polish, Hamburg, Sumatra, Sultans, Frizzles and Game breeds. Both wonderfully nostalgic for those who love reading vintage or antique-style books, and a wealth of still-relevant information for egg and meat producers, both home and commercial. This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
