This book was originally intended to show how the maximum number of eggs can be obtained from the minimum amount of imported food.

The chapters of this book include: Breed, Brooders, Broodiness, Buying, Culling, Diseases, Disinfection, Ducks, Eggs, Feeding, Geese, Grass Seed Mixtures, Hatching, Houses, Killing, Lime Wash Recipe, Moulting, Poisoning, Pigment Guide, Runs and Fencing, Sex Linkage... and more.
