Ray Feltwell's Free-Range poultry Guide,
This review is from: Small-Scale Poultry-Keeping: A Guide To Free-Range Poultry Production (Paperback)
This guide to small-scale' free-range poultry is a must for those interested in keeping poultry the natural way. The information provided is suitable for both the beginner and novice, covering a broad range of must-know information. From do-it-yourself poultry housing through to feeding, health, and breeding, Ray Feltwell has presented a thorough, educational, and enjoyable read. For a novice poultry keeper like myself, it has become a handbook. Of special mention is the indepth listing of English regulations, clubs, and organizations dealing with poultry production.

We're not a colony anymore,
By "mollysydney" (Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small-Scale Poultry-Keeping: A Guide To Free-Range Poultry Production (Paperback)
The information would be really good if it were directed at an American audience. Breed, food sources are problems since this is an English publication!
