Framed Print of Prize birds at the Poultry and Pigeon Show recently held at Birmingham, 1862. Creator: Harrison Weir
Prize birds at the Poultry and Pigeon Show recently held at Birmingham, 1862....no less than 1364 entries of poultry and 232 of pigeons came to this great feathered congress...Mr. T. H. D. Bayly's first prize pen of gold-laced bantams...were a very admirable specimen, and priced in the catalogue at £25...Mr. Kelleway's Cochin-China chickens (cinnamon and buff)...won one of the Amateurs Cups...In the centre is Mr. Edward Archer's brown gamecock of the pencil-breasted variety...Mr. T. Stretch's Cochin-China chickens (brown and partridge-feathered) were quite as good in their way as their cinnamon and buff kinsfolk, and alike honoured with an Amateurs Cup...The turkey pens were four in advance of the goose-step division; the young turkeys mustered 14 out of the 24, and it was noticeable that, while the Rev. Thomas Fellowes only placed £6 16s. on his prize pen, the second was marked at £20...[In the turkey class] won by Mrs. A. Guy's, the Cambridgeshire blood hailed from Grantham. Lord Hill got the only high commendation in it, and that for black Americans; and throughout the whole of the pens there were a large number of whites; but the decisions ran on dark, rich-coloured birds'.
