Incubation and Brooding of Chickens

This is a 1928 guide to incubating and brooding chickens. Written with the beginner in mind, it simply explains each step of the processes with the aid of photographs and diagrams, making it ideal for modern readers with a practical interest in keeping chickens and other poultry. Contents Include: 'Replacing the Flock', 'Incubation', 'Time to hatch', 'Sanitation in incubation', 'Selecting hatching eggs', 'Hatching with hens', 'Hatching with incubators', 'Increasing demand for day-old chicks', 'Brooding'', 'Sanitation in brooding', 'Brooding chickens with hens', 'Artificial brooding', 'Brooder houses', 'Brooding chicks in confinement', 'Battery brooding', 'Necessary precautions', etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on poultry farming.
