III. BREAST. 



The breast and breast-bone or sternum (which Is a different bone than the keel) 

 should be straight, wide, deep, full, and fairly round. One can get a good idea in 

 judging this section by placing their fingers in between and around the clavicles or 

 wish-bone. There should be no cut-up appearance to the breast. The fleshing 

 should be fairly abundant (depending on the time of year handled) and of good 

 quality. The flesh should neither be too firm nor too flabby. 



Notice the very short back and cut-up 

 appearance of body. 



A fowl with a fine full breast.
