Overview

This special re-print of the Hamburg chapter of George Ferguson's Ferguson's Illustrated Series of Rare and Prize Poultry contains a treasure trove of information on Hamburg Chickens. Written in 1854, this classic text was among the earliest to describe the Hamburg in detail, which in those days was known under a wide variety of names such as the Yorkshire Pheasant Fowl, Mooney Fowl, Prince Albert Fowl, Bolton Fowl, Chitteprat, Narrower, Moss Fowl and Dutch Everyday Layer. Included are details on the breed's earliest known ancestor, the Turkish Fowl, the development of its early regional varieties and finally the start of its homogenization into the Hamburg Fowl as we know it today. A must read for those interested in Hamburgs of all varieties. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
