There are hundreds of different types and varieties of chicken.

quote I hadn’t realised till I started editing ‘Fancy Fowl’ that there is more to poultry than egg laying quote
Liz Fairbrother, editor of ‘Fancy Fowl’ magazine

Liz Fairbrother, editor of ‘Fancy Fowl’ magazine has been keeping chickens for 20 years: "I’ve always liked poultry, since I was a very small girl and living in London, so as soon as I could have some I did, but I hadn’t realised till I started editing ‘Fancy Fowl’ that there is more to poultry than egg laying".
