This text contains a detailed guide to keeping bantams. This book was originally published in wartime, and as such it will depart from many of the accepted methods of feeding and general management of poultry. It thus offers a fascinating insight into keeping chickens in times of hardship. Written in clear, simple language and full of interesting and practicable information, this text will be of considerable value to existing and prospective bantam keepers. It would make for a great addition to collections of poultry-farming literature. The chapters of this volume include: 'Introduction', 'Utility Value of Bantams', 'Housing and General Management', 'Breeds and Their Varieties', 'Feeding – With or Without Balancer', 'Breeding and Chick Rearing', 'Miscellaneous Hints and Common Ailments', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on poultry farming.
