POULTRY BREEDS AND MANAGEMENT: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE. By David Scrivener.

2008 1st edition. Paperback. Pp176. Colour photographs and paintings, b/w illustrations, bibliography.

"This authoritative book, which is illustrated by over 100 photographs in full colour, will be of enormous interest in hobby poultry keeping and breeding." This book includes, particularly, "the care of a wide range of pure breeds, some of which have special requirements that are not provided for by normal poultry-keeping methods. All the most popular breeds of chickens, bantams and turkeys are considered, and attention is also paid to commercial hybrids. Poultry clubs and shows, the meeting places of pure breed enthusiasts, are also discussed and the author provides advice on how to exhibit pure-breed chickens at officially organised shows."
