Excerpt from Poultry Farming Course: Lessons Nos. 1 and 2 Opportunities in Poultry Keeping; Lessons Nos. 3 and 4 Planning and Locating the Poultry Plant
Our earliest records show that the keeping of poultry generations ago was primarily for the purpose of cock fighting rather than as a source of food supply. In those days improvement was sought largely to produce fowls possessing such combative qualities as strength, endur ance and courage. Later, as the value of poultry became recognized as a source of food production, attention was given to the breeding of fowls for this purpose and the practice of cock fighting has decreased materially, until at the present time it is only practiced in a few countries.
