Chicken Keeping the Old Way
Poultry Illustrations Two

Duckwing Game, Pile Game, Grey Dorkings & Black-Red Game in the third plate and Buff Leghorn, Minorcan and Brown Leghorn in the fourth plate.

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.
