Thanks to David Moore and Christine Heinrichs

David Moore will be our Area Director for District #4. He comes with a lot of poultry experience. Mr. Moore raises Javas and has been for many years. District 4 covers the Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico and Kansas area. Welcome Mr. Moore to the Java Breeders of America Poultry Club. Also Christine Heinrichs a well known author of several poultry books, How to Raise Chickens and How to Raise Poultry and who is the historian for the Society for the Preservation of Poultry Antiquities has offered to write articles for us. I posted her Java article under the standard of perfection tab. You must read it. Roy our president has asked me to fill the secretary position because he said I'm basically doing it now. Hes basically right. So I am your secretary. Looks like we have an egg-ceptional bird club and we could not do it without all of you.

"This is not an American breed, as has been commonly supposed, but comes, as its name indicates, from the Isle of Java, in the East Indies. About 1835 an old New England sea captain who made many voyages to the East Indies brought home some of these fowls and presented them to a friend, Amasa Converse, of Northampton, Massachusetts. He in turn presented some of these fowls to a niece, who afterward became Mrs. Lyman J. Tower. Everyone agrees that these fowl's were as finished and well established a breed in their earliest years in this country as the breed is now. Mrs. Tower, unlike the Missouri doctor of whom we have heard so much, freely furnished her neighbors with this stock until there was in Hampshire county, Massachusetts, many families breeding them. No doubt the Missouri doctor obtained his stock from this source. It is due to J. Y. Bicknell and his associates, C. S. Whiting, G.M. Mathews and others, that the Missouri line became so prominent. I have my information concerning the origin of the Black Javas in this country from J. Lyman Kelly, of Malone, New York, formerly of Hampshire county, Massachusetts, who was a grandson of Mrs. Tower, with whom he lived when a boy, and who gave him the information aforesaid."
