PLATE LXXX. 
The Hen, 
Here given, is of the game ; but as all the fpecies are well known, it would be needlefs 
to fay much upon this defcription. It may be fufficient to add, that thefe Hens difiFer princi- 
pally from others in their fliape, being clofer in their feather, lighter in their make, and, in 
general, do not fliew that variety of colour which the common yard fowls exhibit. The rich- 
nefs of colour in the neck diftinguifhes the Hen of this fpecies from others of the genus. 
They are the beft breed for the yard, although they are difpofed to fight and worry one 
another when chickens ; but the fame flock fhould not be continued more than three or four 
years, as it will degenerate.
