OLD & RARE BREEDS OF POULTRY

by J. Butler

Published by Beech Publishing House. 1st thus. 1997

Nearly fine condition. International Poultry Library. New Edition. From the 1840s old and rare breeds flourished being kept for poultry farming and as a hobby, often being shown. Then came the decline, the noble birds being replaced by birds which laid the maximum and ate the least amount of food... Now it has been discovered that these battery cages cause pain and suffering. There is a good chance that these standard breeds will now return to their rightful place in supplying eggs... Large format. Blue cardwraps. Some colour plates, b/w photos.

Cover corners lightly rubbed, small mark on rear cover where old price label was. Contents clean.
