Introduction Standards for pure breeds of poultry owe their origin to the popularity of exhibition and the need for a benchmark by which they could be judged fairly; individual exhibits of a breed needed to be judged against each other. There was a call, therefore, for uniformity of type (encompassing body, shape, and carriage) together with a breed’s colouration while taking into account egg production and table values in those classified as Utility. Apart from these attributes, Standards needed to embody the ideal characteristics which defined not only each individual breed to make them distinctive from others but also the specific colours and markings of particular varieties within a breed. Standards needed to be formulated to serve as a guide for breeders, exhibitors, and judges alike. It was as long ago as 1865 that the Poultry Club authorised the publication of the first Standard of Excellence in Exhibition Poultry, edited by W.B. Tegetmeier and published by Groombridge & Sons. This was the first book of its kind in the world. Two years later, in 1867, it was adopted by the American Poultry Society and published in the United States by A.M. Halsted, complete with alterations and additions to suit the fancy in America. The original Poultry Club lasted just three years before being disbanded with the second, and current, Poultry Club of Great Britain being founded in 1877. During the intervening period, W.B. Tegetmeier’s The Poultry Book was published in 1867, followed by a new edition in 1873.
