Their plum- age is pure black, large bright red comb and wattl's white ear lobes, legs of a dark slate color, being very handsome in appearance. They are the largest non- setting breed in existence, being fully one-third larger than the Leghorn, and equal to them as egg producers. Their eggs weigh from six to eight ounces more to the dozen than those of any other breed. Any one wishing to secure a profitable fowl can do so by purchasing a setting of eggs from our prize-winning fowls of the Pierce and Northup strain.
