Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on Scraps - Hardcover

This antiquarian text contains a comprehensive guide to keeping poultry, including chapters on keeping rabbits on scraps. This book was originally intended to show how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food. Complete with clear, concise information and profusely illustrated, this timeless text will be of much value to both existing and prospective poultry keepers, and makes for a worthy addition to collections of such literature. The chapters of this book include: Breed, Brooders, Broodiness, Buying, Culling, Diseases, Disinfection, Ducks, Eggs, Feeding, Geese, Grass Seed Mixtures, Hatching, Houses, Killing, Lime Wash Recipe, Moulting, Poisoning, Pigment Guide, Runs and Fencing, Sex Linkage... and more. We are proud to republish this vintage book now complete with a new introduction on poultry farming.

This unusual early work is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Extensively illustrated with text diagrams and drawings, it is a comprehensive guide to keeping rabbits and chickens. The first half of the book is dedicated to showing how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food and the second half aims to give practical guidance in as simple a form as possible, catering for the needs of the breeder who intends starting with a small number of rabbits. Thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the poultry and game enthusiast's bookshelf. 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.
