How the chart is bounded

The chart keeps the brown entries separate because each belongs to a different breed record. It likewise keeps white, blue, green, dark brown, and cream attached to the specific breed named by each source. Matching labels do not become a ranking, a count of all breeds, or a claim about unpublished pages.

The Cream Legbar row uses McMurray's complete blue-egg sentence. The Speckled Sussex row uses Hoover's cream label. The Silkie Bantam row uses Meyer's cream label. Those full retained records replace the earlier label-only or mismatched evidence and appear in each row's disclosure; the adjacent link opens the current live source, which can change after the recorded fetch.

No pigment mechanism, nutrition comparison, seasonal change, shade variation, or care advice is asserted here. The evidence retained for this reference supports only the displayed breed-to-label pairs. A shorter chart is more faithful than extending those facts into claims the snapshots do not entail.

The image above is an AI-generated editorial illustration. It helps distinguish the visible chart, but it is not a source for any breed or shell-color label. The retained hatchery quotes disclosed beside the chart rows define the fifteen published facts.
