Mating & Breeding of Poultry

The Mating and Breeding of Poultry is a very helpful reprint of a 1920's manual written by Senior Poultry Researchers at the USDA Experiment Stations. If you have ever wanted to develop a strain of bird for a particular purpose or improve your landrace flock you'll learn everything you need to get the job done. The authors cover how to pick and choose chickens for specific circumstances, manipulate size and color combinations, develop certain psychological characteristics and encourage the juiciest meat or largest eggs. There is a crash course on the principles of breeding, classes of poultry and how to run an efficient medium scale operation. Well illustrated with line drawings and photographs and filled with easy-to-follow instructions. 5"x7", 340 pages. To Order By Phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982
