Chicken Keeping the Old Way -
Poultry Illustrations One

Pictures of White Wyandotte, Plymouth Rocks and Golden Wyandotte, Cochins, Dark Brahmas, Malays

Some time ago I downloaded some books on chicken keeping from the late 1800s. I thought some of the information in there was worth reproducing here. The illustrations are beautiful in their own right so - just enjoy!

These illustrations are from the 1899 edition of The Practical Poultry Keeper, orginally published in 1867.

Plate One

White Wyandotte, Plymouth Rocks and Golden Wyandotte
