This special re-print edition of H.H. Stoddard's book "An Egg Farm: The Management of Poultry in Large Numbers" is a primer on egg production in flocks of laying hens. Written in 1896 by one of the great 19th Century masters of poultry breeding, this classic text on poultry sheds light on the secrets of managing and improving egg production in flocks of laying chickens. Topics include Artificial Incubation and Brooding, The Arrangement of Breeding Stock, Management of Breeding Stock, Buildings, Management of Young Chickens, Feed Crops On The Farm, Feeding and Sheltering Chickens, Breeds for Layers, Breeds for Sitting Hens, Winter Management and much more. One of the best books of its kind, in our opinion. 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.
