Rare Breed Poultry

0/5 ( ratings)

The fact that we still have any rare breed poultry left today is testament to the dedication of enthusiastic breeders and fanciers down the generations. While some argue that these birds are now rare for a very obvious reason this, i think, is missing the point somewhat.
You could apply the same logic to classic cars, Wurlitzer organs or long-case clocks, but that's no argument for scrapping the lot in favour of quartrz watches, Casio keyboards and the Ford Fiesta! Thankfully, there's still a sufficient number of people around with the imagination and sensitivity necessary to value what's gone before.
We should all be grateful for the Poultry Club of Great Britain's continuing management of the breed standards - those clearly-defined rules that govern what a true example of each breed should look like. The retention of these standards must surely play a significant part in continuing to fire the desire among passionate keepers to maintain some of our most interesting breeds, just for the sake of it.
So this all makes the publication of this book especially noteworthy. It should be seen as a celebration of our most desirable rare breed chickens, and a much-needed tribute to the countless men and women who, over the generations, have persevered with such painstaking attention to detail and wholehearted belief.
I only hope that this book will help inspire a fresh generation of rare breed enthusiasts, who'll rise to the challenge and continue this quiet but oh-so-important work. After all, what could be more fundamentally valuable than keeping history alive?
