The number 1 book on Poultry genetics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poultry Breeding and Genetics (Hardcover)
Crawford's Poultry Breeding and Genetics is the definitive collection of information on this subject. It is well worth the cost as it contains informaion you would spend years trying to collect from other sources if it could even all be found. It is divided into logical sections (for each kind of poultry) on form, color, deformities, and disease resistance. Beyond listing dominant and recessive genes, it goes into a description of how the gene affects the bird or bird part to produce the desired effect. It discusses which breeds usually carry each gene. It cites the person and the study that came up with the information. It is not a book for people new to the mechanisims of heredity, so if you have forgotten that you need to review it first. Crawford assumes you understand the the vocabulary and workings of genetics already.
