British Poultry Standards

The breeding and exhibiting of poultry is not only part of a long tradition, but also serves to maintain the pure breeds necessary for the development of commercial hybrid strains. The demand for uniformity in type and colouration of the various breeds led to the authorization of standards of excellence, under the guardianship of the Poultry Club of Great Britain. This book is the official reference to all the recognized Poultry Standards in Great Britain. It contains complete specifications, together with judging points for all the standardized breeds and varieties.
