Lloyd's Modern Poultry Book W B Lloyd

This special re-print of W. B. lloyd's "Lloyd's Modern Poultry Book" contains a treasure trove of information on chickens and other types of backyard poultry. Written in 1894, this classic text includes all the basics needed to get started in poultry, be it for a hobby, home production of meat and eggs, or as a business proposition. Topics include Breeds of Poultry, Care and Feeding of Poultry, Dressing and Shipping Poultry, Diseases of Poultry, Turkeys, Ducks and Geese, Capons and Caponizing, Incubators and Brooders, Chickens on the Farm, Housing and Fixtures, Poultry Yards and Chicken Coops, Raising Broilers and more. One of the more informative books of its kind, in our opinion. Also of interest is a guide to old poultry supply houses, breeders, books, magazines and other items of interest to poultry breeders of the time the edition was first published. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
