Too Broad to be useful,
By
This review is from: Exhibition Poultry Keeping (Hardcover)
I debated for a long time if to spend the money on this book, but finally I did. If I had read it first, I would not have purchased it. Yes, it does touch on all the subjects listed in the ass, but because it trys to cover so many differn't types/sizes of poultry, it doesn't give enough imformation about anyone to be useful. It is really more full of general requirements. In the housing section, no much mention of floor space/ bird. Breeding section, no real secrets revealed about breeding management plans. I was really disappointed.
