1908 LETTER H. E Mc GREGOR BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS




A letter of reply for the sale of a cock bird, with reference to a cheaper option if needed.the bloodline is from J.W. PARKS champion layer strain, this being the case commercial fowls more so than exhibition fowls are wanted. good size and colour points are mentioned, also that it is a bargain! all three colours can be supplied if needed (somewhat correct) light medium and dark birds been mentioned,  but this would be a messy start. hopefully the light is a rooster the medium are exhibition colour  males and females and the dark are ckl breeding pullets.the shade to be sent that is wanted is not a very sound way to start, every mans opinion would differ greatly as to shade, this always apparent at shows where even in different rows or ailses birds are in, show different tone.


an interesting piece of correspondence from very early last century..
