Poultry in a pocket-size book? Why not, when the birds in
question are neatly corralled into an appealing little
volume, just right for gift giving, easy browsing, or
tucking into a bag or pocket for quick reference at a
poultry show or auction. More than 100 poultry pals show
their amazing colors in full-page images that capture their
good looks and lively personalities. Intricate feather
patterns, imposing crests and wattles, and grinning beaks
are just a few of their appealing features. From laying hens
to heritage turkeys to adorable ducks, here are all the
common barnyard favorites, plus rare breeds from around the
world. Facing each poultry portrait is an informational page
offering facts about the breed and a handy at-a-glance
reference bar identifying the type of poultry (chicken,
turkey, duck, goose), its primary use (laying, meat, game,
or ornamental bird), and its conservation status. Breeders,
enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever paused to admire a
handsome chicken will be delighted by the photographs and
enlightened by the breed profiles in Pocketful of Poultry.
