The Small-Scale Poultry Flock: An all-natural approach to raising chickens and other fowl for home and market growers by Harvey Ussery with Foreward by Joel Salatin
The most comprehensive and definitive guide to date on raising all-natural poultry, The Small-Scale Poultry Flock offers a practical and integrative model for working with chickens and other domestic fowl, based entirely on natural systems. Including extensive information on:
- Formulating and making your own feed
- How to breed and brood the flock (for breed improvement and for genetic conservation), including the most complete guide to working with broody hens available anywhere
- Providing more of the flock’s feed from sources grown or self-foraged on the home place, including production of live protein feeds using earthworms and soldier grubs
- Using poultry to increase soil fertility, control crop-damaging insects, and make compost—including systems for pasturing and tillage of cover crops and weeds
- Step-by-step butchering—one of the best guides available—complete with extensive illustrative photos
