Source: "rbor Acres White Rocks’ white feathered birds beat the competition in the purebred category, but Red Cornish crosses from the Vantress Hatchery definitely outperformed them. And as it happens, those two breeds would eventually be crossed and become the Arbor Acre breed – whose genetics now dominate poultry farms worldwide."
"Before long, Arbor Acre’s parent stock had supplied all the major broiler companies in America."
Newly created in mainspace on 13 June, the day of nomination, by moving from Draftspace.
Length is acceptable, at just over 2,000 bytes. Correctly rated Start-class.
No obvious close paraphrasing or copyvio noted in spot-checks of sources, but I tweaked a couple of phrases which could have been considered too close to the source.
The image is PD because copyright has expired. If used, the hook would need to have something like (White Rock chicken pictured) appended. It is used in the article, so no issues there.
Sourcing and referencing is fine: everything is referenced, and to decent-quality sources.
No issues with neutrality, POV etc.
The hook fact is sourced and interesting – in fact quite remarkable. Length of the hook is fine.
