This special re-print edition of George Burnham's book "The China Fowl: Cochin, Shanghae and Brahma Chickens" contains all the information a person needs to master the basics of raising these legendary breeds of Asiatic Poultry. Contained is a considerable amount of the very early history of these breeds. Written in the 1870's and much of it in response to Lewis Wright's earlier work on Brahma Chickens, Mr. Burnham shed much additional light on the history of these breeds, as well as how to breed and select them. 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.
