This early work on poultry husbandry is a fascinating read for any
poultry enthusiast, but also contains much information that is
still useful and practical today. It will prove of much interest to
the amateur poultry keeper as well as those in the field of
agriculture. Extensively illustrated with text and full page
photographs. Contents Include: Should I Keep Poultry?; What Size
Flock?; Poultry Houses and Fixtures; Selecting High Quality Stock;
When and How to Start; Brooding Chicks; Rearing; Management and
Selection of Growing Stock; Laying Flock Management; Culling and
Selection; Candling, Grading and Preserving Eggs; Growing Meat
Chickens; Killing and Dressing Poultry; Marketing Poultry; Cleaning
and Sanitation; Poultry Diseases; Poultry Breeding; Keep Poultry
Accounts; Home-Grown Crops for Poultry; Basic Ways to Cook Poultry
and Eggs; and an Index. Many of the earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works
in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original
text and artwork.
