Overview

Fowls For Profit - A Practical Treatise on Poultry Farming for Smallholders, Including a selection of the Best Breeds of Fowls for Egg Production and Table Purposes; Their Management, Feeding and Ailments. This scarce handbook on rearing poultry for profit was published in London in 1909. It was written by a practical poultry farmer of many years experience, and was prepared with the view of supplying farmers, cottagers and smallholders with sound advice and information on the subject. Apart from a little of the historical content much of this advice remains relevant and useful to today's small poultry keepers. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now re-published this book using the original text and incorporating the many illustrations, vintage photos and advertisements.
