Description
This book is intended to introduce this fine breed to those who are trying to select which fowl to keep from the many available, as well as trace the history from early times and examines the finer points for those who are already keeping the Minorca. Also includes information on history, standards, breedings, color, and management.
The bird was made famous by the great prize winner known as The MacNab, owned by Lord Dewar, and he gained the top prize out of a total entry of 6,530 birds at the Crystal Palace Show.
Besides being a fine layer of large eggs in good numbers, it is beautiful to behold and interesting to keep and show.
