Excerpt from Fleshing Chickens for Market The illustration, figure 1, Breast and Thigh Development. Shows a side view of the average fowl in the market. The breast flesh ought to go out to the dotted line. There would then be twice as much white meat, and it would cost no more to bring the bird to maturity. The middle figure of the same illustration shows a cross section of the average market fowl, the dotted sections showing the breast meat. Breed a round, wide-breasted bird and the amount of breast meat will be more easily increased. Look carefully to the selection of the breeding stock and select birds that are built to carry a large amount of breast and thigh meat.
