The Complete Guide to Poultry Breeds: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply

According to a new report from the World Bank, global food prices have increased 29 percent in the past year, which will inevitably lead to higher prices at the grocery store. The price of corn jumped almost 60 percent in one year, which will ultimately affect the price of meat and poultry because farmers use corn in livestock feed. One of the easiest ways to control food costs is for consumer to grow their own meat and produce, but how will they know what they need to do before purchasing chicks or turkey?

With The Complete Guide to Poultry Breeds: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply, author Melissa Nelson tells readers everything they need to consider before purchasing a turkey, chicken, goose, duck, quail, pheasant, or partridge. Nelson first concentrates on the options chickens can provide readers and how to select the optimal breed for their needs. Whether readers are searching for a breed to provide fresh eggs every week or several chickens that will offer tasty meat, she helps readers select which breed will offer what readers are looking for. Nelson even offers instructions for how to butcher chickens, which will further reduce money readers will have to spend processing their meat.

For readers who are interested in raising poultry breeds for pets instead of for meat or eggs, Nelson explains everything they need to know pertaining to turkeys, geese, ducks, pheasants, partridge, and quails. Readers will learn the living requirements each breed will need, as well as what to feed each bird and how to incubate the eggs. Nelson also provides information on poultry health and terms any poultry owner will need to know. So whether readers have an interest in growing fluffy ducks and geese or are interested in keeping a few chickens to offer meat and fresh eggs, The Complete Guide to Poultry Breeds offers all the information they need when raising a new feathered friend.
