Six hens could provide you with 1000 eggs a year, while ducks lay still more. Poultry keeping, as a hobby or as part of a self-sufficiency programme, makes a rewarding and interesting domestic activity.

Dr Geoffrey Eley records in this book the lessons of mnay years of poultry keeping.  He describes four principles of success, with details of recommended breeds, feeding, construction of a poultry house, and hatching chicks. This new and updated edition has been expanded to include chapters on geese and turkeys.

An invaluable practical guide, the book also contains a glossary of poultry terms, and a useful index.
