This special re-print edition of Dr. John Myer's book "Chickens" is a guide to raising chickens at home. Written in 1896, this classic text contains everything needed to raise chickens for eggs or meat purposes, starting from the very beginning. Included are details on the numerous breeds that were popular at the time of writing (most of which still are popular), how chickens are judged in shows, as well as how to raise, breed and feed chickens for the production of eggs and meat. Illustrated with historic drawings depicting numerous breeds of Chickens and Bantams. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
