Breeding Stratagies

Post by G Williams » Wed Mar 15, 2017 11:36 am

Laws governing the breeding of standard fowls; a book covering outbreeding [!] inbreeding and line breeding of all recognized breeds of domestic fowls, with chart, 1912

by Card, Wetherell Henry,

This is a small but informative book written 100 years ago. Main take away for me is that if you are Inbreeding or other forms of close breeding Vigour and size are the most important criteria.
