While rooting around through the American Memory section of the Library of Congress (searching chicken/rooster/poultry related photos/etc.) I came across this shot attributed to the Chicago Daily News (1910). There are several legitimate chicken related photos, attributed to the same rag, on the site so I'm wondering if this pic is legitimate. Or was the photographer having some fun (glues spurs on head?). Anyway, just wondering if the breed can be determined from the plate and, if anyone has heard of a `horned' rooster outside of the old Rt. 66 corridor...?
