This special re-print edition of P. H. Jacobs' book "Poultry For Profit" is a short guide to raising chickens for eggs and meat. Written in 1883, this booklet contains the basics of raising chickens for profit, be it for eggs or for meat purposes. Included are all the basic elements of breed selection, coops and other forms of housing, how to hatch eggs, care of young chicks and much more. The text is especially written for those with the limited space of a small plot of land and includes details on how to maximize space for the most production. Also included are details on raising turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea hens and others. 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.
