Good Poultry Keeping C. Fermor

This early work on poultry husbandry is a fascinating read for any poultry enthusiast, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. It will prove of much interest to the amateur poultry keeper as well as those in the field of agriculture. The contents are extensively illustrated with explanatory diagrams. Contents Include: Systems of Poultry Keeping, The Hen and the Egg, Breeds and Breeding, Incubation, The Growing Chick, The Laying Bird, Table Poultry, Turkeys, Ducks and Geese, Markets and Marketing, Feeding, Diseases, Some Representative Farms, Records and a Glossary. 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.
