This text contains a detailed guide to keeping bantams. This book was
originally published in wartime, and as such it will depart from many of
the accepted methods of feeding and general management of poultry. It
thus offers a fascinating insight into keeping chickens in times of
hardship. Written in clear, simple language and full of interesting and
practicable information, this text will be of considerable value to
existing and prospective bantam keepers. It would make for a great
addition to collections of poultry-farming literature. The chapters of
this volume include: 'Introduction', 'Utility Value of Bantams',
'Housing and General Management', 'Breeds and Their Varieties',
'Feeding - With or Without Balancer', 'Breeding and Chick Rearing',
'Miscellaneous Hints and Common Ailments', etcetera. We are proud to
republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially
commissioned introduction on poultry farming.
