About this ebook
This early guide to poultry husbandry is a fascinating read for any poultry keeper or historian of the breed. Thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any smallholder or goose keeping enthusiast it contains much information and anecdote that is still useful and practical today. Eighteen photographs accompany the text. Contents Include: Goose production; Breeds; Goose management; Fattening for market; Killing, picking and marketing; Market demand and prices. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
