How to Raise Poultry

The information she presents is fascinating, and it’s stuff you aren’t likely to encounter in other books about chickens or poultry.  And the photos are terrific…While it’s not really a how-to book (and I got the feeling it wasn’t meant to be, despite the title,) it’s amazing how much how-to information is crammed into it.  If you don’t kow a thing about raising birds, you’ll at least get a pretty good idea of what’s involved…you get an informative, entertaining, beautiful and fascinating look at the wide world of poultry.  This is a book any bird lover could spend many delightful hours with.
