synopsis of "what I know about
Poultry." --
i
ORIGIN OF DOMESTIC FOWLS
There is much diversity of opinion
• in relation to the origin of our do
mestic fowlS. .Count de Buffon, of
France .who. was the greatest natu
ralist of his day, and Sonnerat, who
'was also an eminent naturalist, claim
ed that the dOmestic fowls sprang
from one k .primitive stock. • some
writers' claim that they owe their ori
girrfto the Jungle fowl of India ; and
others partly to. the Jaga fowl of Su
matra, and partly to the Bantam
fowls of the _ _wilds of Java. Aria
tophanes balls the cock the Persian
'
bird ;- neither of which suppositions
'accord with the different forms,
colors,.&c., of the domestic from the
wild breeds ; or with the unrestricted
crossings of the domestic breeds With
each other. Wild fowls have but
one uniform shape ankeplor of plum
f.ge, peculiar to thcmselyes, and the
crossings between , the,', wild and do
mestie fowls are.limited to one gene
ration'; which alone refutes the idea
of tr. ,l!r originating from. the wild
fowls.

_
Iympler, saw- .wild galltnattous
liens at l'oloniconder, St. Jaz), and
the Island of Timor, in the Indian
Ocean. Sonnini described wild cocks 1
which he saw in the forests of South
I,America, and Sonnerat saw some in
the IndieS; and Telmninck procured
some from - Java, -Sumatra, and the
Island of Ceylon; and 01 of them
(littered from each other, and from all
of the then known •domestic races of
fowls; but this profitless question of
their origin -is involVed: in too much
obscurity and confusion to allow me
to your patience in - tracing it
through conflicting history and un
- certain tr_adition. c 'lt is certain' how
ever, that they have been kno7n to
man from the earliest historic or tra
ititionary period
SEPARATE AND DISTIS I TT CREATIONS
Notwithstanding .the Opinions of
eminent naturalists to* . the contrary,.
I believe that there have been tkumer
ous, seperate and distinct creations
of them in different regions 'of the
bal;.itable globe / corresponding with
the animal creation from that of man.
Inclusive, down'to the lowest type of
creation in the animal kingdom..
DERIVATION OF THE NAMES OF FOWLS;
• It is .well-known that different
countries have their peculiar breeds,
which generally take their names
frOm the, places th 4 inhabit, or from
which they were imported, or from
some peculiar appendage forination
or - cluircteristie ' of them y as the
Dorkins from D4rlptg, in England ;
the lloudains, (pronounced Houdans)
--i from llbudain, in France ; the Black
Spanish, or, as they are called—
. evcrlasting layers—from Spain . ; the
Polauds, from Poland; the: Shang
• hail, from Shanghai, in China ; the
Buirand the Patridge Cochin Chinas,
from Cochin China; The Siberian or
. Russian fOwls from Russia; the Ma
, lays or Chittagorigs, from the Malay
Islands; the Jayas, from the Island
. of Java. the 'Columbians, from' Co
lurnbia,:in South America; the Bar
bares, from Barbary the • Dutch
fo:Wis, or the every-day layers, from
nam`A, from their' per
sis!tency in laying and disinclination
to set ; the Bolton grays and bays,
from Bolton, in England ; the former
known also as Chitteprats (or Chete-
brats) or Modnies ; the Sussex fowls.,
froin Sussex_ - -county, in England ;T
cluelders, from the Province of Guel
derland, in Holland, and from Belgi
; the frizzled fowls, from Java and
Eastern Asia,: the Shakebag, some-
tiakes called Shakebag, or Duke of
Lectiz . 4 fowl,—a, large parti-colored
fowl .with a blabk crest, supposed to
be a cross with the g,amelowl. They
` were clebrated fighters, and were
c carried in bags to cock-pits, where
their owners shook the hag contan
inr them as.a banter to the owners of
. other fighting fowls, and hence thev
were nicknamed Shaktbags. The
ne!iro f6wl, from Africa—distinguish
ed for its black comb, wattles, skin,
bones and feathers, though the flesh
is, white and ,tender, but being un-.
dainly in iippearance, and' without
profitable qualities, a cross between
it and other fowls is deteriorating,
and hencl , they are not desirable in
mates in She poultry yard; the Barn
yard, or dung-hill.. fowls are the off
s.,,ring of promiseous "crossings of
the 3lalay, Dorking, Poland, SpaniSh,
and other fowls. Doctor Bechstein,
. enumerated - eight distinct varieties of
them,. viz; the- small combed, the
crowned, silver colored,slate-blue,
chamois-colored, ermine-like, widow,
with" tear-like spots on • a .black
;round, fire and stone colored. Cross
ings with more recently imported
- breeds have added to those varieties.
• The Dominique, or - Dominica foils;
are supposed to be from the Island of
Dominica, in 'the West Indies, but
are ranke& 'with our native breeds
and are superior breeders Leghorns,
from 'Leghorn in Italy; Creve Ctrrs,
from France silky fowls, from China
and Japan—remarkable for the silky
texture of their plumage; Hambur„c-s,
from llamburgh, in Germany, with a
number of varieties including gold
and silver penciled Hamburgs
Bralimas; or Brahma Pootras, from
Asia—named after the Brahma Poo
tra or Burampooter :river there
Pheasant fowls, or pheasant Malay
fowls, from the Malay Islands, are
saill to be a cross between the, heas-
ant of the' woody ant omestic
fowl, but never reach a second gener
ation ; Creepers, a very small variety
of the Bantams, with short legs ; the
creepY is probably a cross with the
Siberian or Russian fowl, which i has
o short legs ; the Jumper mention
ed _by Buffon, is another "of those
diminutive races; and :are _so short
legged. that they are compelled to
.progi.ess by jumping instead of step
ping : Bumpkin's, 'or tailless fowls,
are suppose(' to ,be a distinct species,*
