. Principles and practice of poultry culture . Poultry. APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES OF BREEDING 521. Fig. 540. Model Single-Combed White Leghorn cockerel ^ tail coverts black with clean edge or lacing in the flights, with one web black in the secondaries, but no black show- ing when the wing is folded. A little black ticking in the saddle near the tail was tolerated in an Exhibition male and considered desirable in a male for breeding. Recently, a darker type of Light Brahma has sometimes been given preference. In this type males have very heavy striping in the hackle, and have the striping in the saddle extending well up to the cape, making the back almost the same as in Dark Brahma and Silver Wyandotte males. This corresponds with the popular type of Columbian Wyandotte. Whether this type will Wyandotte, Columbian Plymouth Rock, and, in more crude form, of the less popular Lakenvelder. This color pattern appears as the elimination of black from the surface of the body plumage of a silver-laced or silver-penciled type, leaving the bird white with black in the wing flights and tail and a black stripe in the hackle. As has been stated, the Light and Dark varieties of the Brahma were not clearly differentiated when brought from China. The early Light Brahmas showed a great deal of black or gray on the back, breast, and body. For many years the ideal of Light Brahma breeders was a white fowl with neck-hackle cleanly striped with black; tail black, of white; wing black or nearly black.
