Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of the W. Powell-Owen's book "How To Feed Hens For Egg Production" is a complete guide to feeding laying hens for egg production. Written in 1920, this classic English text on poultry contains the basics of raising poultry for home egg production. Some of the topics covered include Constituents of Foods For Laying Hens, Compiling A Diet For Egg Production, Grains and Their Value, Animal Foods and Their Value, Green Foods, Summer and Winter Feeding, Feeding Laying Hens In Confinement, Feeding Heavy Egg Producers, Over Feeding Versus Under Feeding, Feed Appliances in the Chicken Coop and much more. In our opinion, this is one of the best classic books on the subject of keeping laying hens or eggs. 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.
