Mini Encyclopedia of Chicken Breeds and Care: A Color Directory of the Most Popular Breeds and Their Care
Description
A comprehensive and richly illustrated guide to keeping chickens. Keeping
chickens became very popular 15 years ago when cities eased restrictions and
small-scale farmers in cities and in the country relished the flavor and
nutritional benefits of free-range eggs, and the meat of chickens that lived a
good life – away from factory farms. Now the inflation in food prices gives
new impetus to growing your own, and that’s especially true of chickens. This
book is packed with sensible advice and practical guidance for all aspiring
poultry keepers. It explores all aspects of keeping chickens, including
housing, day-to-day management, feeding, breeding, chicken behavior and – for
those who take special pride in their breeds – showing at fairs. Part One:
Practical Section contains information on selection of breed, housing,
management and feeding, eggs, breeding chickens, understanding chicken
behavior, health care and showing birds. Part Two: Chicken Breed Profiles
shows and describes breeds from Ancona to Yokohama (light breeds), and from
Australorp to Wyandotte (heavy breeds), plus bantams and game breeds. Each
breed is described in words and color photographs. This is a down-to-earth and
useful book that can get anyone started on keeping chickens – or continuing
with chickens but doing it better. Read more
