5.0 out of 5 stars BLAND BY NAME BUT NOT IN CONTENT!, 5 Jun 2003
By Dollywagon (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I ordered this book with some trepidation as it had words such as "Profit, marketing and management" in the synopsis. I had doubts that it would meet the needs of a hobbyist and also that of "my girls"! How wrong I was, a quick flick through the pages answered several common questions that I had been seeking solutions to and a more in-depth read gave me information above and beyond what I expected in relation to poultry housing, electric fencing and incubation. Additional pleasant surprises came in the form of good solid advice on nutrition and the reproductive system. There is a chapter on marketing for those who wish to expand into the profitable area of egg and meat production but this is just a small aspect of a book that will provide the hobbyist with an excellent foundation and understanding of poultry.
