HYBRID BETWEEN TIE TURKEY AND BARN
DOOR FOwL.-The last Poultry Bulletin cou
tains the following e. II Rogers of Tuscs
loosa, Ala, sends description of an inter-
eating hybrid produced by mating turkey
cock to a common ,heR. He writes: Tanl
+" have twentytone ftOwls, the result of
this union. At Matching they resembled
chickens in their form and also in their chirp-
ing, though somewhat larger. After feather
ing, they assumed che color of the turkey and
the tails, instead ofsbeing like that Of their
maternal parent, were square, resembling
that of the turkey. The bills resemble both
that OF chicken and turkey. Soma of
them have combs very prominent at hatch
ting, resembling much those of the common
cock, though turned q little to one aide. The
others have no combs at all on that part of
the head where the comb grows. There is 3
smooth place, at the upper end of which Is
a little projection resembling that of tur-
KEEP gobbler. They will be three months
cid tomorrow; they have changed but lit
tie, and are as tall as common hens. I expect
to show them in different States this fall at
the Fairs, and am in hopes you will see
them. I send you q feather from the wing
of three months old fowl, that you may
gee its character for YOURSELF ~
The feather sent differs from the wing

enough to determine anything positively.

tioning their names, as being ready to cor
roberate his testimony in regard to these
fowls 1# }
There 10 no probability that this hybrid
can be perpetuated. Still it is possible that
civilization has so modified the nature of
one or the other parent breed, that, as In
the case of the cross between the buffalo and
common COW. it will be found fertile. Such
an event would be without precedent, rs the
parent species are much more widely differ
emit than any which have heretofore been
crossed and produced offspring, fertile among
themselves. 1t is more probable that some
of the pallets may manifest tendency to
lay, and these may prove fertile IL paired
with their own sire, or with some vigorous
rooster. We hope the experiment of breed
ing them will be faithfully tried, even
though for q few generations but single
chick or or two reward the pains. iu8l
