Description
Stairways to the Breeds by Ian Kay
From Local Club Shows to Classics, from Lancashire to Lincolnshire, via poultry shows at virtually every point in the United kingdon, Ian Kay’s knowledge and experience spanning two generations have been gained to enable this uniquie book to be written.
Covering 101 breeds, on which much research has been undertaken, the book deals with their strengths and weaknesses, origins and comparison, breeding procedures and beauty
The book is not only full of sound advice, but humorous where necessary, and recalls many of the beliefs of famous old names of the past, which have not previously been published.
There is no book to compare with this one and the fancy is fortunate that for only the second time this century (20th) such a book has been published.
The book contains 443 pages which include illustrations and pictures both in black and white and colour.
Over 900 historical photographs (60 in full colour) illustrating 101 breeds of poultry
