Poultry for the Farm and Home

Enjoyable book that my DH came across- good to see that the information communicated back in 1921 still stands for 2021!

Enjoy the read!

Thanks. That should be a fun read!

This was fascinating!

Some of the ideas, like unbleached muslin curtains for draft-free ventilation, can be useful to the modern backyard chicken keeper.

Some of the information was mind-boggling, like the fact that they were aiming to produce 100 eggs per hen per year -- from Leghorns!

Agree! I don't practice the using of kerosene on my hens legs to treat scaly leg mites
coconut oil in a solid form works just as well!
