Book details
Summary
Description
I am pleased to present yet another title in the Chicken Breeds Series. This 1921 volume is entitled Blue Ribbon Reds and delves deeply into the ever-popular chicken breed, Rhode Island Red.Though this work is close to a century old it contains poultry breeding information that is just as pertinent today as it was way back then. It features near-antique articles from newspapers and magazines, old advertising, plans, diagrams, art and illustrations. The range of topics included cover everything from breeding for egg-layers, origins of the breed, molting, judging Rhode Island Reds, to chick feeding, and colony and backyard housing, to name but a few.This is a truly charming, yet practical and valuable book on the various varieties of the Rhode Island Red breed.Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
