The Exhibition Dorking Chicken: Hints to Exhibitors and Poultry Fanciers of the Dorking Fowl - Paperback

This special re-print edition of Thomas Coke Burnell's book "The Exhibition Dorking" contains a treasure trove of information on this legendary breed of chickens - the famous Dorking. Written in England in 1875, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on Dorking Chickens. Included in this short text are the fine details on breeding Dorkings and how they were exhibited at shows in the 19th Century. One of the only books of its kind. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
