By David C. Bland.
This detailed guide to poultry keeping is designed to enable anyone to keep poultry for profit. It includes: poultry
breeds and uses, poultry housing and equipment, breeding and sexing birds, common problems with eggs,
natural and artificial incubation and rearing, nutrition and diet, rearing birds for the table, effective planning,
management and marketing and recognizing and preventing common diseases. Practical Poultry Keeping has
been written after 45 years experience of poultry farming and will guide the reader step-by-step through the
various stages of setting up and maintaining a unit, which will not only conform to welfare legislation but will be
viable, avoiding many, if not all, of the common errors so frequently encountered at the cost of the producer.
Author David C Bland writes regular columns for Smallholder Magazine and Feathered World Magazine as well
as hosting regular poultry husbandry courses at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in West Sussex.
