Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on artificial incubating and brooding was written in 1906 on the cusp of a new approach to poultry farming. The techniques described in this book were an evolution from centuries-old practices, including methodology developed by the ancient Egyptians. The author states that until the invention of portable incubators and brooders, the average home farmer rarely hatched more than 100 chicks per year. However, with the tools and knowledge described in this book, farmers are able to vastly increase their egg production and thereby profitability. The book discusses both incubating and brooding methods, providing a detailed reference and guide for farmers, homesteaders, and small-scale poultry producers looking to adopt more scientific methods to their agricultural operations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
