I went back and cobbled together two of saladin's posts, so we can all see again what breeds go where.
We might want to add to the list the breeds we are currently working on.
The three i am getting this spring,
Hamburg - Ancient
Dominique - probably Modern
Leghorn - maybe Modern

Ancient Fowl (existing before 1600)
Modern Fowl (1600-1845)
Industrial Fowl (1845-1940)
(I used the date 1845 because that was the date of the first poultry show. This happened, as you are aware, during the Industrial Age).
Examples of the breeds classified would be:
Ancient Fowl breeds:
Asil
Dorkings
Malays
Old English (Large Fowl)
Nankins
Pyncheons
Modern Fowl breeds:
Creves
LaFleche
Houdan
Java
Polish
Red Caps
Shamo
Sussex
Industrial Fowl:
Brahma
Cornish
Orpington
Rhode Island Reds
Cubalaya
Delaware
Holland
I did not classify breeds created after 1940.
