Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of W.O. Crane's book "6000 Laying Hens On One Acre" is a short guide to keeping laying hens for egg purposes. Written in 1912, this classic text contains information on how to maximize the use of space for laying hens. Crane's unique system incorporated the use of very small hen houses to maximize the use space, allowing small farmers with only a limited amount of space to raise laying hens on a large scale. While the days of small farmers competing with large egg farms are now a thing of the past, Crane's long last system is of great value to small organic farms and homesteaders looking to produce a steady supply of eggs from only a small space. Complete with details on how to construct coops for laying hens, as well insights into the care of chickens for egg production. 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.
