Looking for Breed Catalog

[mooSa]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find a booklet or catalog sort of speak of pictures of different breeds of chickens. If there is information under each breed section that's even better. Thanks

Most of the hatcheries have some sort of catalog. Murray McMurray and Cackle Hatcheries have some of the better pictures and descriptions. You can go online and request a catalog be sent to you.

I don't know if you can download it or not....I guess if you really want it you may have to pay for it then.

I don't know about a catalog, but you could purchase the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection. If you get the black and white paperback copy, it only costs $14.00.

Then click FS under the name of the bird.

If you have a Tractor Supply in your area maybe try there. The one in Purcell Oklahoma had a book that described different breeds of chicken, when the breed was developed, and what breeds went into developing it. I wished I would of bought that book. This weekend I think I will take a 30 mile trip up there to see if its still there.

There are tons of others, including one on BYC!

Also, a good book would be Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds.
