• 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.

• Waterfowl of Chenoa. Good pictures and information on various breeds of Ducks and Geese.

Each year between 1,500 and 2,000 students take advantage of the opportunity to tour Chenoa Waterfowl with their teachers.

• Leg and Foot Disorders in Domestic Fowl Most leg and foot disorders in fowl can be prevented through proper nutrition and management. However, some problems can be genetic. In today's large meat chickens and turkeys the problems become very complex since the birds put on weight faster than they build their bone structure to support the weight. By: Phillip J. Clauer, Virginia Cooperative Extension.

• Transporting Poultry in a Humane Manner During the summer and fall months, poultry owners are hauling poultry to fairs, markets and other gatherings. Unfortunately, very few people put much thought into how to best transport their fowl. As a result, birds don't show well, get sick or die in transit. These results can be avoided with a little planning and extra care. Consider the following factors before transporting fowl. By: Phillip J. Clauer, Poultry Extension Specialist, VA. Tech.
