Overview

This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to the variety of breeds of poultry commonly used for meat and eggs. For each breed treated there is provided a photograph accompanied by a detailed description and other notable information. "Breeds of Chickens for Meat and Egg Production" will be of utility to modern farmers and keepers of poultry alike, and it would make for a useful addition to related collections. Contents include: "Poultry Farming", "Breeds of Chickens for Meat and Egg Production", "Introduction", "American Class", "Asiatic Class", "English Class", and "Mediterranean Class". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on poultry farming.
