Many hens fall intermediate between these four distinct groups and the egg development. _ The third general type of head is common to the beefy class. The head in this case, is short, heavy, and coarse, with a wide skull and coarseâ€" ly wrinkled skin. In addition the jaw is usually wide, and the neck short and heavy. The fourth general class includes all hens showing secondary male sexual characteristics. Thil; class includes all hens developing either the male voice, common to hens described as Incomplete Hermaphroâ€" ditism, or the other group, that take on masculine characteristics due to atrophy of the ovary. In either case, the head becomes gross and masculine and the egg sack never shows any or thick. The skin lining the face should be extremely thin and delicate, giving the face a dished appearance. The eye should be prominent, buiging, and placed well back in an oval eye socket. This gives the placid, feminâ€" ine and intelligent appearance to the face. There should be an absence of all tendencies to throatiness and heavy thick neck. ; The second genral class include the‘ refined type of heads.
