This special re-print of "Mrs. Basley's Poultry Book" contains a treasure trove of information on chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, pheasants and other types of backyard poultry. Written in 1908, this classic text includes all the basics needed to get started in poultry, be it for a hobby, home production of meat and eggs, or as a business proposition. Among the hundreds of topics covered include Common Sense Poultry Houses, What Variety to Choose, Eggs For Breeding, Eggs For Market, Sprouting Oats For Feed, Feeding Problems, Sample Rations, Feeding Alfalfa to Poultry, Line Breeding, When to Hatch Chicks, Testing Eggs During Incubation, Natural and Artificial Incubation, Care of Chicks, Selling One Day Old Chicks, Chickens For Broilers, Trap Nests, Grit For Poultry, Pests in the Poultry Yard, Town Lot Poultry, The Molting Season, Preserving Eggs, Capons, Turkeys and How To Raise Them, Ducks and Their Breeds, Geese, Guinea Fowl, Pheasants and much more. A must read for those interested in Poultry of all varieties. Lavishly illustrated. One of the more informative books of its kind, in our opinion. 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.
