Poultry Pictures from our Ancestors

[Sam The Yam]

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of poultry related to our ancestry. For example, this picture is of my great grandfather's poultry business in Bear River City, UT.
I hope to post pictures of the coops that we had on our family farm. Also, I recently saw a black & white photo of my aunt who just passed away, and she was standing near a flock of chickens on the family farm in Northern Utah. It was a beautiful picture of a beautiful lady and some great looking chickens of former days. I hope that those out there with pictures enjoy this opportunity to post and share information.

Wish I had some of my family with their flocks. I sort of collect old poultry photos. These are via the Library of Congress photo collection. Subjects and photographers unknown.

I will have to see if my dad has any old photos. My great grandparents raised chickens, pigs and rabbits for meat after they moved here from Hungary. I am the only one in my family who has raised chickens since then, they all think I'm nuts

I have some old pics around here of some rumpless hens that my grandmother had as well as lots of other critter pics that I need to take pics of or scan them in.

This has inspired me to take pictures of my children with the chickens. Although they are teenagers I think this would be a great legacy for them and their children (if they have any) down the road. One article I read a while ago told of a gentleman that created a journal as he raised his chickens. I think this is a good idea also.

I love old poultry photos! Sadly, I have none from my family even though my grandmother ran a poultry farm in the 1920s and 30s.
I do have a piece of stationery that says something about S.C White Leghorns - Bred to Lay and Pay!
