. Principles and practice of poultry culture . Poultry. Fig. 339. Red-Laced Cornish Indian Game cockerel. (Photograph from owner, W. H. Card) Laying types. term " egg type" was defined, and the Mediterranean, Dutch, and Polish groups were mentioned as illustrations of that type. These breeds are all of the same general conformation and, with a few exceptions, about the same in size. The differences between them are differences in color of plumage and skin, and in development of head appurtenances. Consideration of this type as a whole shows that geographi- cally it is a European type, — of all Europe rather than of any part of it, though superficial characters (as would be expected) have been developed dif- ferently by different peoples, and (as will be shown) modifications in the connection between the game type and the Brahma and Co- chin types. In America they are of the black-red pattern. The modem Exhibition Game was developed from the English type of pit game, with probably some infusion of Malay blood. The prominent charac- teristic of this type is the ex- aggerated length of neck and legs. The standard colors are black-red, brown-red, golden duckwing, silver duckwing, birchen, red pile, white, and black. In common with most other types which have some feature greatly exaggerated, they are at present somewhat out of favor with poultrymen. In Chapter V the. Fig. 340. Exhibition Game hen owned by W. H.
