This early work is a fascinating read for any poultry keeper or historian of the breed. Thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any smallholder or hen keeping enthusiast. Detailed information on how to build poultry houses is given, so that anyone handy with tools can build them. Extensively illustrated with text and full page drawings, diagrams and photographs forming a complete how-to guide. 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.
