Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of the USDA's book "Standard Varieties of Chickens: The American Class" contains a treasure trove of information on American chicken breeds. Written in 1917, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on American Chicken breeds, including the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Java, Dominique, Rhode Island Red and the Buckeye. 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.
