To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In breeding for comb, this feature in the cock is important, BREEDING FOR COMB. 99 for we believe his influence is greater than the hens in repro- ducing it It should, therefore, in his case^ be of good shape and well developed, and, as described in our opening ehapterj of the inte Houdan type. In the hen the endeavour should be to procure it of the precise shape as that of the cock Ijird, but in miniature. Although the unadvisability of breeding from an ill-shaped combed cock will thus be seen..., the comb of a hen may, perhaps, be badly formed, yet, when such a hen is bred from by a cock with a large well-shaped comb, the chicks may not, perhaps, exhibit the objectionable deformity of the mother in the slightest degree. And so it is really throughout all the points which make up the ensemble of real or fancied beauty; the want of such in the hen may be supplied in the chickens if care is taken to select a cook in which they exist, and vice versa ; but to an- ticipate any special characteristic to excel in the chickens will prove an unprofitable task, unless one or both of the parents possess it in a minor or major degree.
