This special re-print edition of Sir Walter Gilbey's book "Poultry Keeping on Farms and Small Holdings" is a basic guide to raising chickens for eggs and meat on the small farm or at home. Written in 1904, this classic English text on poultry contains the basics of raising poultry, be it for eggs, for meat purposes or even just for pleasure. Included are all the basic elements of breed selection, coops and other forms of housing, how to hatch eggs, care of young chicks and much more. Some of the topics covered include Poultry Management, Housing, Feeding and Raising Chicks. Of particular interest is an entire chapter on raising and processing chickens for meat purposes. 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.
