British poultry standards (6^th Ed.)

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
