The Dollar Hen Milo M Hastings

Survival Classics has served as the back-to-basics library for over a decade. For years, those interested in homesteading and emergency preparedness have built their survival libraries around the titles found here. The Survival Classics Library was founded in 1999 and was available only by membership and only to those that found their way to the library by way of personal referral. In January of 2013, with the survival movement and emergency preparedness having become one of the hottest topics of the decade, it was decided to open the library to the general public. The Survival Library strives to be recognized as "The Best Survival Library in the World" and a growing audience of survivalists and preppers have joined with our emergency preparedness readers to strengthen that recognition. The Survival Library strives to distance itself from public domain re-publishers that have no concern of content or presentation. Titles in our library are evaluated by topic experts and are included only after the title has proved it can succinctly transfer the knowledge of previous generations. The Dollar Hen, first published in 1909, remains without competition and is considered by many to be the bible for raising chickens and free-range egg production. The Dollar Hen has been a consistent top selling title in the Surival Classics Library for years. The Dollar Hen offers comprehensive coverage of the poultry industry and egg production with 16 chapters and over 100 topics of no-nonsense practical information including: poultry production, where to locate, marketing, housing plans, feeding system, water systems, chick rearing, incubation, fertility, incubator box, diseases, lice and mites, caponizing, cold storage, grading eggs, egg sizing and more. Editor annotations include additional content including translation of turn-of-the-century vocabulary and website links to additional relevant information. A complete and down-to-earth publication for beginners, homesteaders and professional egg production facilities.
