Poultry Overview
*Table of Contents for Poultry Overview Section is at bottom of this page.*
This new section will present not one but three introductions to poultry husbandry, keyed to experience level. “The Home Flock for Beginners” is the most beginners-level guide to our approach to keeping poultry. I have long thought of my “Poultry 101” article, “Starting a Small Flock of Chickens,” as a good overview for beginners as well. I will add a much more extensive, “intermediate” guide as soon as I can. In the meantime, there is a wealth of information on specific subjects throughout the Poultry section.
I will also include in this section pieces of a general, speculative nature—for example, “Poultry Husbandry in a Changed Energy Future” and “The Homestead Flock: Pets or Partners?”, both published in Backyard Poultry. ~Harvey, December 31, 2008
