Book Description
Excerpt from The Old English Game Fowl: Its History, Description, Management, Breeding and Feeding In writing this little work on "Old English Game," it has been my endeavour to describe the birds for the benefit of those fanciers and beginners who are not yet fully conversant with them. I am not for one moment supposing that any work such as the present will be of much value to "Old Hands," but if it causes the true Game Fowl to be better known and more widely kept, and is of any assistance to the poultry fancier about to take up the breed, it will have attained its object. I have received some of the most interesting information on "Hennies," &c., from a gentleman well known under his nom de plume of "Game Cock," whose kindness I take this opportunity to acknowledge. I may add that had I not been frequently asked to write something of this kind by several fanciers, this monograph would probably never have appeared.
