Synopsis
Breeding and exhibiting poultry is not only part of a long tradition but also serves to maintain the pure breeds necessary for the development of commercial hybrid strains. The demand for uniformity in type and coloration of the various breeds led to the authorisation of standards of excellence, under the guardianship of the Poultry Club of Great Britain. British Poultry Standards is the official reference to all the recognised Poultry Standards in Great Britain: it contains complete specifications together with judging points for all the standardised breeds and varieties. The new edition - the first since 1982 - is in full colour throughout, with over 200 colour photographs.

From the Back Cover
Exhibiting poultry is only part of long tradition which began in mid-Victorian times, but breeding also serves to maintain the pure breeds, some of which may be necessary for the development and future of commercial hybrid strains. The demand for uniformity in type and coloration of the various breeds led to the authorization of standards of excellence under the guardianship of the Poultry Club of Great Britain.
British Poultry Standards is the official reference for all the recognized Poultry Standards in Great Britain; it contains complete specifications together with judging points for all the standardized breeds and varieties.
The new edition - the first since 1982 - has been fully updated, with over 200 colour photographs of current winners. Included are details of a further sixteen breed of fowl, ducks and geese, and the section on turkeys has been extensively rewritten. The book has been significantly revised to provide cleared definitions of breeds, types and colours of the poultry breeder and conservationist.
