Sinopsis

"Keeping Poultry And Rabbits On Scraps" is an extensively illustrated guide to keeping rabbits and chickens, with a special focus on doing so as cheaply as possible. The first half of the book explains how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food, while the second half aims to give practical instructions and tips. This book will appeal to those with an interest in low-cost poultry keeping. Contents include: "Poultry Farming", "Cuniculture (Rabbit Farming)", "Eggs From Scraps", and "Keeping Rabbits on Scraps". 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.

This antiquarian text contains a comprehensive guide to keeping poultry, including chapters on keeping rabbits on scraps. This book was originally intended to show how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food.

The chapters of this book include: Breed, Brooders, Broodiness, Buying, Culling, Diseases, Disinfection, Ducks, Eggs, Feeding, Geese, Grass Seed Mixtures, Hatching, Houses, Killing, Lime Wash Recipe, Moulting, Poisoning, Pigment Guide, Runs and Fencing, Sex Linkage... and more. We are proud to republish this vintage book now complete with a new introduction on poultry farming.

Reseña del editor

This unusual early work is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Extensively illustrated with text diagrams and drawings, it is a comprehensive guide to keeping rabbits and chickens. The first half of the book is dedicated to showing how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food and the second half aims to give practical guidance in as simple a form as possible, catering for the needs of the breeder who intends starting with a small number of rabbits. Thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the poultry and game enthusiast's bookshelf. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
