Description
In revising this book on everything you need to know about Poultry keeping and breeding, we have tried to present a simple guide for those who wish to keep poultry as a profitable hobby. This follows the tradition already established in the earlier editions. Without introducing complex technical terms, the text takes the reader step by step through the procedures followed . Provided the birds are managed as shown, there should be a satisfactory yield of eggs and meat. In addition, there is no more satisfying hobby than keeping birds.
Measurements have been kept as in the original book. Although the metric system is now being adopted, it was felt that the domestic poultry keeper would prefer teems he understands readily.
