Breed Identification Contest!

[HallFamilyFarm]

Frank Reese Jr posted this on Facebook this morning. Can you name the breeds without looking down and reading the answers? This was a test Frank was taught as a child by Hy Patton.

Hint: Ameraucana aka Easter Eggers did not exist when this chart was made.

The Cornish is way different than modern Cornish. It's more likely an "Indian Game"

To be honest number 2 made me think for a moment. Couldn't decide if I was maybe looking at a old type Langshang or what, judging by the old type on a couple of the examples, (wasn't picking up on the extra fluff first off). Then I remembered seeing a similiar looking bird at the Ohio National a couple years back, just so happened I was talking to Gary Overton at the time, mystery solved. Don't believe I had ever seen a white one before. Pays to hang with knowledgable people sometimes,

This is very good. What I would also like to see to further increase type awareness, for the advanced students, is if possible block out comb, and leg feathering, and all birds painted white, (even breeds that do not come in white). Using only close to ideal examples of the various breeds to stress the differences.
