Poultry Craft: A Text Book For Poultry Keepers

This special re-print of John H Robinson's "Poultry Craft" contains a treasure trove of information on all types of backyard poultry. Written in 1904, this classic text includes all the basics needed to get started in poultry, be it for a hobby, home production of meat and eggs, or as a business proposition. Chapters include Poultry Keeping and Poultry Keepers, Locations and Situations, Poultry Fixtures, Fowls Described, Choosing a Breed - Buying Breeding Stock, The Science of Poultry Feeding, Egg Production, Principles of Breeding Poultry, Hatching and Rearing Chicks, Selling Poultry and Eggs, Exhibiting Poultry, Bantams, Turkeys, Ducks, Geese and more. A must read for those interested in Poultry of all types. One of the more informative books on poultry keeping, in our opinion. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
