This article presents information on the book "Inheritance of Characteristics in Domestic Fowl," by Charles B. Davenport. This book presents the results of a series of experiments in breeding domestic fowl, conducted chiefly for the purpose of demonstrating the fact that certain factors are more strongly inherited than others and that this inheritance conforms to the laws laid down by biologist Gregor Mendel. Davenport now advances the theory that the strength of the dominating character not only varies, but is inheritable; and many of the experiments, which relate to the number at toes, presence or absence of tail, condition of comb, and similar variations, seem to support this view strongly.
