There does not seem to be so much demand for another white breed, however, in view of the great popularity of the White Rock and White Wyandotte, not to mention the white varieties of numerous other Fig. 36.—Buckeyes. The Reds are ideal birds for farmers, not only because of their size and prolificness, but because their plumage is well adapted to farm conditions. Being dark in color, it does not soil so readily. The weights for the Reds are the same as for the Wyandottes, though the mold or contour of the former is not so round. The Javas, see Fig. 35, of which there are two varieties, Black and Mottled, the Dominiques and the Buckeyes complete the list of the purely American breeds. None are bred so extensively.
