Description
Basic Guide to the management of Turkeys with special reference to free range and other systems. Despite what is sometimes imagined turkeys are still reared and managed on small holdings in barns and straw yards.
This book examines how they may be managed to the best advantage. It also explains incubation and rearing as well as other aspects relating to the birds.
The showing side is also covered and the different varieties available are explained. They are many beautiful colours in exhibition-type turkeys and some fanciers keep them simply as a hobby.
This book is signed by the author on the Title page!
