BREEDS OF POULTRY
SUITED TO LOUISIANA

In selecting a breed or variety OF
poultry for average farm purposes
the following points should be kept in
mind:
/. A medium size is desirable;
one which will produce profitably both
eggs and meat.
2. A solid colored variety-white,
black or bluffs more easily kept uni
form than parti-colored variety.
8. Birds with light colored plum
age have carcasses Of better appear
ance than birds with dark plumage,
as dark colored fin feather, if brok-
en-, would discolor the skin.
4. 1t is necessary to have sitting
variety unless the breeder is prepar-
ed to use incubators and brooders.
Experience has shown that the va
rieties best suited to Louisiana con-
ditions are the White Leghorn and
Black Minorca in thenonsitting class;
and the White, Barred or Buff Ply
mouth Rock, the White or Buff Wyan-
dotte, the Rhode Island Red, or one
of the Orp;ngtons, in the sitting
class.
On Louisiana farms at present the
White Leghorn seems to be the most
popular variety in the non-sittina
class, and the White Wyandotte in
the sitting class. Popularity means
demand and demand means better op
portunity to sell breeding stock d
eggs for Matching. No mistake will
be made in selecting one of these two
| varieties, although several OF the
others mentioned are also exception
ally good.-A. F. Rolf, Poultry Spe
cialist, Extension Division, Louisiana
