| Summary | "The Book of the Hamburgs" by L. Frank Baum is a treatise on poultry breeding, specifically focused on the Hamburg variety of chickens. Written in the late 19th century, this book provides a thorough exploration of the mating, rearing, and management practices for Hamburgs. Baum delves into the history, characteristics, and practical guidance related to various subtypes of Hamburgs, highlighting their beauty and egg-laying capabilities. Throughout "The Book of the Hamburgs," Baum discusses the origins of these birds, tracing them back to England and Holland, and he emphasizes their distinct traits, including plumage, comb types, and their reputation as prolific egg layers. The text is both informative and practical, covering topics such as breeding techniques, care for young chicks, preparation for exhibitions, and advice for judges overseeing poultry competitions. Baum's enthusiasm for these birds is evident as he strikes a balance between the practical breeding tips and the aesthetic appreciation of the Hamburgs, making this book a valuable resource for both novice poultry enthusiasts and serious breeders alike.
