Excerpt from Races of Domestic Poultry The suggestion has been made that the domesticated duck known in Europe was originally imported from Asia, which is probably true to some extent. It is impossible, however, to come to any other conclusion than that the majority of our breeds have descended from the mallard, or wild duck, which is widely dis tributed, ranging from Eastern Asia to North America, and is a regular visitor to nearly every part of Europe. When and how such domestication first took place it is difficult to say, but certainly before the Christian era, for Columella, who lived in the first century and wrote upon animal husbandry, says that when anyone is desirous of establishing a duckery, it is a very old mode to collect the eggs of teal, mallard, etc., and to place them under common hens; for the young thus hatched and reared cast off their wild tempers, and undoubtedly breed when confined in menageries. For if it is your plan to place fresh-caught birds that are accustomed to a free mode of life in captivity they will be slow breeders in a state of bondage.' He further says that the places in which they are kept should con sist of high walls, covered in to prevent their ying away. That is proof of the partial domestication, as it could scarcely be expected that they would be tamed in the first generation. Dixon states 1' that he is inclined 'to consider our race of farmyard ducks as an importation, through whatever channel. From the East, and to point out the discovery of the passage of the Cape of Good Hope (1493) as the approximate date. The early voyagers speak of finding them in the East Indies exactly similar to ours, and the transmission of a few pairs would be a much easier task than to subdue the shyness and wild nes of the mallard.' It is possible that such importations took place 400 years ago, as they have within the last half century, and may thus have introduced specific races but the evidence of Columella given above shows that prior to that time domestication had taken place in Europe, and we are justified in assuming that the same method was adopted in Asia. Mr. Dixon says further: I I know of no instance in which anyone has finally succeeded in founding a permanent tame farmyard race of ducks by breeding from the mallard.'

Excerpt from Poultry: Their Varieties, Classification, Exhibiting, Treatment, Breeding, Rearing, Housing, Diseases, and General Management It must not be thought that I am disposed to regard the work of fanciers as being entirely hurtful to the economic qualities of our various races of domestic poultry; on the contrary, I am firmly convinced that with a few exceptions this work has been most beneficial. New breeds have been introduced, the world has been scoured for fresh varieties, and many of the breeds which thirty years ago were simply local, and whose characteristics were not very well defined, have been improved, and types embodying the qualities have been fixed. But for the efforts of fanciers our races of domestic poultry would be comparatively few, and many varieties which are now amongst our most valuable fowls would be unknown, or if known would be unattractive. Attractiveness is a great factor in all such considerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
