Chicken Breed Identification

  • Chicken Breeds from Oklahoma State University. Not complete listing and contains information on some breeds and strains not recognized by the American Poultry Association.
  • Poultry Breeds The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy is a clearing-house for information on livestock and genetic diversity. These breeds are threatened because agriculture has changed. Modern food production now favors the use of a few highly specialized breeds selected for maximum output in a controlled environment. Many traditional livestock breeds have lost popularity and are threatened with extinction. These traditional breeds are an essential part of the American agricultural inheritance. Not only do they evoke our past, they are also an important resource for our future. The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, founded in 1977, is the only organization in the U.S. working to conserve rare breeds and genetic diversity in livestock.

Chenoa Waterfowl is a family project of the Field family, to give the boys and girls of West Tennessee an opportunity to see and study wildlife, waterfowl in particular, that they might not be likely to see without this effort. Schools are encouraged to plan birding field trips during the fall and spring. Each year between 1,500 and 2,000 students take advantage of the opportunity to tour Chenoa Waterfowl with their teachers.
