Description

Excerpt from Cocker's Manual: Devoted to the Game Fowl, Their Origin and Breeding, Rules for Feeding, Heeling, Handling, Etc., Description of the Different Breeds, Diseases and Their Treatment

The origin of the Game Fowl is a point that would involve am im mense amount oflabor and considerable time without leading us to any practical conclusion. It has proved a most perplexing question notwithstanding naturalists, historians, and game fanciers have written much concerning it, and still no one theory has been accepted by all as correct in every particular. We find almost every known part of the globe has been honored with their origin. Many refer to India as the original country, and possibly aver from thence they were car ried over the world. Others to the contrary, forcibly assert that England, or the Isle of Rhodes, or some other place were their orig nal countries. In this way, perhaps, we could go on and give article upon article yet be no nearer their origin than we were at first, and we do not intend to furnish many new ideas upon this subject as it would only be filling our work up with what many care so little about.
