Overview

This special re-print edition of H. Armstrong Robert's book ""Commercial Poultry Raising"" is a complete guide to raising all types of poultry for all purposes, including chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pigeons and others, for meat, for eggs and for pleasure. Written in 1918, at nearly 600 pages, this is one of the most complete books ever published on raising and managing poultry of all kinds. The book is split into thirty-nine informative chapters, along with a complete index. Included are details on all the major breeds of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons and guinea fowl, as well as complete details on poultry housing, feeds and feeding, breeding systems, egg production, meat production, common diseases and much more. Of particular focus is how the average person or small farmer may turn their interest in poultry into a financial supplement or an income. Lavishly illustrated with nearly 350 historic photographs, drawings and diagrams. One of the best books of its kind. 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.
