Organic Poultry

By Katie Thear

This unique book provides an excellent coverage of what is involved in managing organic poultry, including laying and table chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowl.

It includes research findings on the best way to cater for the innate needs of poultry and aims to clarify a situation where there is considerable confusion about organic standards.

A 'must' for those keeping poultry organically or considering converting to organic poultry
