Poultry a Practical Guide: To the Choice, Breeding, Rearing, and Management of All Descriptions of Fowls, Turkeys, Guinea-Fowls, Ducks, and Geese, for Profit and Exhibition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Poultry a Practical Guide: To the Choice, Breeding, Rearing, and Management of All Descriptions of Fowls, Turkeys, Guinea-Fowls, Ducks, and Geese, for Profit and Exhibition
Although fowls are so commonly kept, the proportion to the population is still very small, and the number of those who rear and manage them profitably still smaller, chiefly because most people keep them without system or order, and have not given the slightest attention to the subject. Nevertheless it costs no more trouble and much less expense to keep fowls successfully and profitably, for neglected fowls are always falling sick, or getting into mischief and causing annoyance and often expense and loss. A man, says Mr. Edwards, who expects a good return of flesh and eggs from fowls insufficiently fed and cared for, is like a miller expecting to get meal from a neglected mill, to which he does not supply grain.
