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.
