How To Raise Poultry (FFA Agricultural Education)
by: Heinrichs, Christine
Prized for their feathers or eggs, raised for their meat or their beauty
or simply for fun, poultry of a dazzling array of sorts and sizes have
a place in the heart of farmers, ranchers, and bird fanciers alike. If
you want to raise fowl—of whatever kind and for whatever reason—this
book is the perfect place to begin. Poultry expert Christine Heinrichs
lays out the distinctions between waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans),
turkeys, gamebirds (peafowl, pheasants, quail, and others), ratites (ostriches,
emus, and rheas), and pigeons. She then clearly details the very different
requirements for raising each species, from feeding and housing to husbandry
and health, to showing and marketing and legal concerns. Whether you're
thinking of starting a flock or acquiring a few feathered friends, this
handy guide tells you everything you need to know to raise healthy poultry
for pleasure or profit—or both. Color photos. 192 pgs.
