POULTRY BOOK - A GUIDE FOR SMALL OR BIG POULTRY KEEPERS, BEGINNERS
AND FARMERS By Harry Roberts. A READ COUNTRY BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT.
Originally published in the early 1930s, this extremely scarce
early work on poultry keeping is both expensive and hard to find in
its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS have republished it, using
the original text and photographs. Two hundred and thirty three
pages deal with every aspect of poultry keeping from egg to table,
and will prove invaluable to both the backyard beginner and the
larger commercial enterprise. Twenty detailed chapters contain much
expert advise on: The Beginner. - Breeds and Strains. - Houses and
Appliances. - Foods and Feeding. - Hatching. - Rearing. - Backyard
Poultry Keeping. - Intensive Poultry Keeping. - Winter Egg
Production. - Day Old Chicks. - Ducks. - Turkeys. - Geese. - Guinea
Fowls. - Diseases of Poultry. - Vermin. - Egg Preserving. - Killing
and Shaping. Plucking, Drawing, Trussing. - Marketing. - Accounts.
Etc. The book is well illustrated with photos of breeds and
equipment. This is a fascinating read for any poultry enthusiast,
and contains much information that is still useful and practical
today. Many of the early farming books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
