Backyard Poultry – Naturally

Perfect as micro-livestock for the edible backyard, the popularity of
poultry is not surprising. However, good information about natural
poultry care can be hard to come by. But this book has it all! Now in
its third edition, Backyard Poultry – Naturally has become the bible for
the chemical-free raising of your feathered friends. From housing to
feeding, from selection to breeding, from pets to production, from the
best lookers to the best layers, this book covers everything the
backyard farmer needs to know about poultry husbandry – including
preventative and curative herbal medicines and homeopathic remedies for
common problems. What to plant in poultry yards, following permaculture
principles, is also covered, the author being a permaculture farmer who
is passionate about preserving the heritage breeds, many of which are in
danger of extinction. This third edition has now been completely
updated and revised. New natural remedies have been added, along with
new breed photographs – and it is now in full colour!
