Chicken Keeping the Old Way -

Columbian FowlI can't really see much difference between this and Spanish fowl in the picture although the tail feathers seem even more exaggerated on the cockerel. Apparently Columbian were somewhat heavier than Spanish breeds of chickens. Not really the best illustration in the book but it's actually quite an evocative picture.

Black & White Spanish FowlsThere may be little difference between the Spanish and Columbian chickens to my eyes but they certainly have a Spanish style to them. Queue the Flamenco music!

Duckwing Game FowlIt's fairly obvious where the name comes from, looking at the wings. Sadly the game fowl were often used for cock fighting and you may note the vulnerable comb has been bred out of these.

Golden Pencilled HamburghsI must admit, these give the Polish a run for their money in the best dressed chicken competition. Unusually, the hen is more attractive than the cockerel although his tail feathers are more dramatic
