Product Description

Product Description
Aimed at smallholders, hobbyists and enthusiasts, this book is designed to cater for the needs of those who have only limited resources, both in time and money. It offers comprehensive information on breeds, stock selection, housing and equipment, and shows how the use of controlled artificial lighting can increase egg production. Advice on breeding, health and disease make the book valuable reading to both commercial keepers and those interested in showing. Carol Twinch farms with her husband in Norfolk. With many years' experience of commercial poultry-keeping, she is the author of "Plain and Simple Egg Production", Editor of "Farming in East Anglia", and a regular contribitor to farming and smallholding magazines including "The Smallholder".

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, though a little lacking in illustrations, 2 Nov 2007
By Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is a lot of information in this book. Twinch covers breed selection, housing and equipment, husbandry systems, management, feeding, breeding, health and the fancy in this slim volume. There are useful photos, diagrams and tables throughout the book, although I would personally have liked more. When I was a complete beginner I found it useful to have a number of texts with plenty of illustrations to hand. Now I have been keeping hens for a few years Twinch is the book I am most likely to refer to if in doubt about anything as the information is sound and to the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars very informative, 2 Jul 2009
This book is very informative for beginners in poultry.
I would recommend it, although it did`nt go into great detail about incubation as the author Carol Twinch has a seperate book on this subject.
