Book recommendations

[JSfunnyfarm]

Does anyone have any book recommendations on modern chicken breeds/breeding and genetics. I am new to this! Would love some good information! Egg color, feather patterns, combs, skin coloring… cross breeding.
Thank you so much!!

It's not much of a genetics book, but it helps if you want to breed towards show.

Do you have a PDF format? I have scans of the "Poultry Breeding and Genetics by R.D Crawford" we can exchange pdf if possible

I don't think so, I've looked at other Pdfs though.

What other PDFs? Like real books or research papers?

Mainly Research papers, since I have a hard time finding books without having to pay for them.

They are out there, just very hard to find.
