A review of "Storey´s Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds" by Carol Ekarius
Another encyclopaedia of
poultry breeds…found this on my bookshelf last week, didn't even know I had it!
Mostly chicken in this one, with ducks and geese in second place, and turkeys a
distant third. Shorter sections on more unusual “poultry” such as ostriches,
quails, swans and peafowl. I admit that some of the waterfowl are pretty comic.
I mean, the Call, the Runner Duck, the Dutch Hookbill, and a few breeds so fat
and slow that they need special protection from foxes and I suppose your
neighbours. Perhaps not for professionals, but a good overview á la coffee
table.
