In comparing the natural diets of the most common kinds of poultry we find at the same time such similarity and such adaptability in all, that they may be kept on the same ration, with slight and easily made variations, and yet such differences and such special adaptabilities that one kind may thrive on feed upon which another would be half starved. Their differences in structure and habits of life also enable them to obtain feed under different conditions. The likeness of the several common kinds of poultry in the matter of feeding is of advantage to the poultry keeper when he wishes to keep two or more kinds under intensive conditions. Their unlikeness is of advantage when he wishes to utilize as fully as possible the waste feeds on a large area of land, or large quan tities of particular kinds of waste or cheap feed.
The kinds of poultry to be especially considered in a general work on poultry feeding are, -fowls, turkeys.
