Description
Excerpt from The American Standard of Perfection, Illustrated: A Complete Description of All Recognized Varieties of Fowls; As Revised by the American Poultry Meeting, at Rochester, New York, Nineteen Hundred and Four
Nearly every large City and poultry center of importance has been visited in turn by these annual meetings. The work of standard making was so well done in the beginning that but few changes, and those of minor importance, have been found necessary. New breeds and varieties have been added; but the policy has been, and is, to admit only such as have become well established, and that clearly are entitled to the distinctive term, standard-bred.
The first edition of the standard was printed and issued to the public in February, 1874. It has been followed by others containing such changes and additions as have been made from time to time by authority of The American Poultry Association.
