The Java Fowl by V. C. Augustine, Pomona, CA
Java research by Glenis Marsh
In my discussion of the Java Fowl, I shall endeavor first to take the reader back over some of the earlier history of this very interesting breed-back when American poultry culture was in it's infancy and the old Dominique the only representation of American breeds. The breeders and fanciers of those days satisfied themselves with the breeding of foreign fowls--the Asatics, Mediteranean and European breeds. It was with these breeds as foundation stock that the early American fancier and breeder began the building of the American breeds which have been developed to such high state of perfection today.
