Description
Excerpt from The Business Hen: Breeding and Feeding Poultry for Profit
In studying nature, especially in the care of birds, we find that some species vary naturally, even in a wild state, while others vary but very little, either in size, form or color, even in domestication. This is noticeable in guinea-fowls and peafowls, and to a less extent in turkeys, geese and ducks, but pigeons and gallinaceous fowls have a variable nature that sports into oddities, not only in form, but also in color and size. This characteristic may be taken advantage of, and under the hands of man these birds are plastic to a singular degree.
