Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 1-3-2013

Pittsburgh Gazette Times, January 3, 1913:

Frank Laporte, the Washington American League player and fancy poultry raiser, was awarded a cash prize today by the Twin City [Dennison-Uhrichsville, Ohio] Poultry Association for raising the highest scoring bird in the annual show now in progress here. Laporte entered a white Leghorn pullet which scored 93 1/2 points.

Do the chickens have large talons?
