4. Identify by description and from pictures three breeds of large domestic fowl such as the following turkeys:

This honor was first approved in 1928 and the three breeds listed in the requirement (Mammoth Bronze, White Holland, and Red Bourbon) are now considered "heritage breeds" and are no longer in regular commercial production after a push toward larger breasted, faster growing turkeys in the 1950's and onward. These heritage turkeys do still exist and are bred by enthusiasts, but information about them is difficult to come by. One estimate is that there are 25,000 heritage turkeys to 200 million commercial turkey's a year raised.

The scarceness of these breeds spills over to the Internet as well, making it very difficult to find photos released under a usable license. For this reason, if you can contribute photos to this project we certainly solicit you to do so. Until we have images with appropriate licenses, the best we can do is provide links to copyrighted photos elsewhere on the Internet.

Since the requirement calls out "three breeds of large domestic fowl such as" it is perfectly acceptable to select more common breeds such such as the ones listed below the first three.

a. Mammoth Bronze turkey

b. White Holland turkey

6. Visit a poultry farm or Agricultural Fair and write a brief report on the various types of poultry observed.

An Agricultural Fair is commonly known as a State Fair or a County Fair in the United States. A state fair is a competitive and recreational gathering of a U.S. state's population. It is a larger version of a county fair, often including only exhibits or competitors that have won in their categories at the more-local county fairs.

Originally a state fair was just a competitive exhibition of livestock in various competitions, the display of farm products which were not necessarily for sale, and the competition among various fair goers and participants in such categories as handicrafts, baked goods, jams and jellies, etc., but has since been expanded to include carnival amusement rides and games, music, races, tests of strength and skill, etc. Large fairs can see more than a million visitors over the course of a week or two.

Attending a fair like this can be a very enjoyable experience for your Pathfinders. You can find a list of state fairs in the Wikipedia article on State Fairs. Most of this Honor can be completed on this visit/tour, as the various varieties of poultry will be on display and labeled.
