Fowl Sentence Examples

  • Domestic and wild fowl are generally abundant.

  • The red jungle fowl (Gallus ferrugineus), supposed to be the ancestor of our own poultry, is not good eating; and the same may be said of the peacock (Pavo cristatus), except when young.

  • The fowl possesses all five ossifications at birth, and for a long while the middle piece forming the keel is by far the largest.

  • When fully dilated, the pupil is round in all birds; when contracted it is usually round, rarely oval as in the fowl.

  • Then, it is true, two lateral points of ossification appear at the margin, but subsequently the remaining three are developed, and when once formed they grow with much greater rapidity than in the fowl, so that by the time the young duck is quite independent of its parents, and can shift for itself, the whole sternum is completely bony.
