This early work is a fascinating read for the amateur or professional bantam keeper or historian of the breed, and contains a wealth of information and anecdote much which is still useful and practical today. Extensively illustrated with text photographs of the many breeds featured. Contents Include: It had to be Bantams, Making a Start, Choosing Your Breed, Hard Feather Breeds, Soft Feather Breeds, Miniature Light Breeds, Miniature Heavy Breeds, Other Varieties, Housing and Appliances, Hatching and Rearing, Feeding Adult Stock, Special Breeding Problems, Preparing for Show, Parasites and Disease and a Glossary of Technical Terms. 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.
