What are some good books on breeding?

[ramhatch]

I am interested in reading up on breeding techniques, and was wondering who some good authors where. Other than Ralph Sturgeon.
Thanks

Surely somebody must know of a book that has to do with genetics, line-breeding, and so forth. I know of Ralph Sturgeon but his books are hard to come by.

21st Century Poultry Breeding, by Grant Brereton is an excellent book. http://www.tomhugginsweb.com/gbpoultrybooks3.html

"The Call of the Hen", a reprint is available on amazon.com, excellent book on developing breeds and standards by a master breeder. From the very early 1900s.
