Book excerpt: Excerpt from Races of Domestic Poultry The suggestion has been made that the domesticated duck known in Europe was originally imported from Asia, which is probably true to some extent. It is impossible, however, to come to any other conclusion than that the majority of our breeds have descended from the mallard, or wild duck, which is widely dis tributed, ranging from Eastern Asia to North America, and is a regular visitor to nearly every part of Europe. When and how such domestication first took place it is difficult to say, but certainly before the Christian era, for Columella, who lived in the first century and wrote upon animal husbandry, says that when anyone is desirous of establishing a duckery, it is a very old mode to collect the eggs of teal, mallard, etc., and to place them under common hens; for the young thus hatched and reared cast off their wild tempers, and undoubtedly breed when confined in menageries. For if it is your plan to place fresh-caught birds that are accustomed to a free mode of life in captivity they will be slow breeders in a state of bondage.' He further says that the places in which they are kept should con sist of high walls, covered in to prevent their ying away. That is proof of the partial domestication, as it could scarcely be expected that they would be tamed in the first generation. Dixon states 1' that he is inclined 'to consider our race of farmyard ducks as an importation, through whatever channel. From the East, and to point out the discovery of the passage of the Cape of Good Hope (1493) as the approximate date. The early voyagers speak of finding them in the East Indies exactly similar to ours, and the transmission of a few pairs would be a much easier task than to subdue the shyness and wild nes of the mallard.' It is possible that such importations took place 400 years ago, as they have within the last half century, and may thus have introduced specific races but the evidence of Columella given above shows that prior to that time domestication had taken place in Europe, and we are justified in assuming that the same method was adopted in Asia. Mr. Dixon says further: I I know of no instance in which anyone has finally succeeded in founding a permanent tame farmyard race of ducks by breeding from the mallard.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Poultry Yard: Comprising the Origin, History, and Description of the Different Breeds of Domestic Poultry The apparent omission of the name of the domestic fowl from the Old Testament may possibly have arisen from this cause, namely, that tending them would be the occupation of women, whose domestic employments are less prominently brought forward by oriental writers than the active enterprises of men and, also, that the birds specially named there are the unclean birds, which are to be avoided, whereas those Which may be eaten are classed in a lump as clean.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry: Their Varieties, Classification, Exhibiting, Treatment, Breeding, Rearing, Housing, Diseases, and General Management It must not be thought that I am disposed to regard the work of fanciers as being entirely hurtful to the economic qualities of our various races of domestic poultry; on the contrary, I am firmly convinced that with a few exceptions this work has been most beneficial. New breeds have been introduced, the world has been scoured for fresh varieties, and many of the breeds which thirty years ago were simply local, and whose characteristics were not very well defined, have been improved, and types embodying the qualities have been fixed. But for the efforts of fanciers our races of domestic poultry would be comparatively few, and many varieties which are now amongst our most valuable fowls would be unknown, or if known would be unattractive. Attractiveness is a great factor in all such considerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profitable Breeds of Poultry In six of the following chapters, I have tried to describe briefly some of the profit able breeds; to give a little information about their histories; and to show what may be ex pected from each of them. With regard to the historical side, the truth is that there is no breed, and only an occasional variety, of which the origin is not in dispute. I have given the versions which strike me as most logical, with such comments as seemed to come within the province of a handbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Poulterer's Companion: A Practical Treatise on the Breeding, Rearing, and General Management of Various Species of Domestic Poultry The object of this work is to recommend the breeding and rearing of domestic poultry as one of the branches of rural economy; and this we shall do by setting forth, as well as our abilities will permit, the benefits to be derived from the poultry-yard. This will embrace three distinct objects. The first, that of rearing poultry for amusement and to supply the table of the owner; the second, doing the same thing with a view to profit; and the third, the benignant influences that will arise from it to the various residents of the contiguous mansion, both old and young, male and female - particularly the youthful and female members of the family. It is believed that we shall be able to satis fy the reader that the culture of poultry is of much more importance than has generally been imagined; and consequently it should become one of the first objects of attention with every family in the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ferguson's Illustrated Series of Rare and Prize Poultry: Including Comprehensive Essays Upon All Classes of Domestic Fowl Without endeavouring to discover the primitive originals for every class of the extant race Galli), or condensing the whole to a unity, by ascribing to one primeval pair rights to progeni torship in toto, we have taken a somewhat medium view, and regarded the principal classes only as distinct from one another, and the varieties as but offshoots. Colour, indeed, is in no way indicative of origin or class, it is the effect of external exposures; but not so, such peculiar markings as the Hamburgh's feathery coat presents, they could never have been perpetuated by the agency of accidental climatic influences. We do not refer to depths of hue or light shadows, but to the uniform and clearly defined pencillings which are distinct from the general ground (see page Moreover the differences of form and cha racter of birds we insist to be the grand distinction between classes, and to whatever temperature they be exposed they will ever retain them unless admixed with foreign blood. There are, doubtless, several varieties in the east with which we are at present unacquainted, but we confess that mongrels of various combinations will ever and anon be produced and regarded as distinct until their issue shall exhibit their heterogeneousness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental and Domestic Poultry: Their History and Management But a student is sometimes the best teacher of any branch of knowledge, as far as he has himself advanced in it, because he has a fresh recollection of the questions which gave him the most trouble to solve and therefore notes were made, mentally, and on paper, from time to time. It was afterwards encouragingly suggested that the publication of them might be ventured upon, as being possibly acceptable to people requiring such information. They were offered to the editor of the Gardeners' Chro nicle, readily accepted, favourably received by the readers of that valuable paper - a class of persons whose good Opinion I must think it an honour to have obtained and the reader now holds in his hands the entire results of my present experience in that department of Natural History, in addition to what has been already published in the Agricultural Gazette. It is hoped that the need of some attempt of the kind, from some quarter, will conciliate a lenient criticism of the many errors and deficiencies with which the Author may doubtless be chargeable, whatever pains he may have taken to guard against them.
