This special re-print edition of the USDA's book "Standard Varieties of Chickens: The Continental, Ornamental and Oriental Game Classes" contains a treasure trove of information on chicken breeds. Written in 1919, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on chicken breeds, including the Polish, Hamburg, Houdan, La Fleche, Campine, Faverolles, Sumatra, Malay, Sebright Bantams, Rose Comb Bantams, Brahma Bantams, Boote White Bantams, Japanese Bantams, Silkies, Mille Fleur Bantams, Sultan, Frizzle and others. 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.
