SCORE CARD FOR BREEDING STOCK SUITABLE 

 FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TABLE FOWLS 



This card is designed as a guide in selecting breeding stock of a 

 type especially suited for producing desirable table fowls. It is ar- 

 ranged in the form of a score card so that it can be used, if desired, for 

 the scoring of such fowls when exhibited in competition. In appljang 

 this scale of points, due consideration must be given to breed char- 

 acteristics. Other points being equal, preference must be given to 

 those birds most nearly approaching the standard weights for each 

 breed, as given in the American Standard of Perfection. Other points 

 being equal, preference should be given to those birds showing greatest 

 indication of standard breeding. In judging the excellence of the fowls, 

 it will be found helpful, if not actually necessary, to handle them and 

 not depend upon observation alone.
