I hope people add scientific studies, good free manuals on poultry care, management, feed, genetics, breeding, behavior and so on for all types of chickens... kid friendly and adult in-depth. I can not guarantee how long links will be good but at least the opportunity to read a free well put together resource is available and possibly can be printed out, or at least folks can take notes.
