Excerpt from Fundamentals in Poultry Breeding: A Complete Guide to the Successful Breeding of American Standard Fowls, Turkeys, Ducks and Geese for Table Poultry, for Egg Production, and for Exhibition

One of the greatest fallacies entertained by those not versed in matters relating to breeding 'is the 'idea that expert breeders have an interest in keeping their methods from the public. The only ground for that suspicion is the fact that, until the poultry public generally had an understanding of breeding that removed their prejudice against inbreeding, it was not good business policy for breeders of high-class stock to let it be generally known how closely their lines were bred. With better general understanding on this point, expert breeders not only have no interest in keeping anything about their methods to themselves, but it is to their advantage that those who buy their stock should know how to breed it right.
