Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of "Money in Poultry and Squabs" by Frank Foy from 1904 includes the very basics of what a person needs to know about how to raise pigeons for meat purposes, whether for home use or for the local market. This small booklet on breeding pigeons for meat purposes had been out of print for over a century until the release of this edition. Also included are details on keeping many different breeds of poultry for eggs, meat and exhibition purposes, complete with breed descriptions and extensive illustrations. Some of the poultry breeds featured include Barred Plymouth Rocks, White Plymouth Rocks, Buff Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Light Brahmas, Buff Cochins, Black Langshans, Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds, White Wyandottes, Silver Laced Wyandottes, White Orpingtons, Golden Wyandottes, Rose Comb White Leghorns, Brown Leghorns, English Red Caps, White Faced Black Spanish, Cornish Indian Games, Silver Spangled Hamburgs, Black Minorcas and others. Though primarily written by Mr. Foy with the intention of promoting his business interests, there is a great deal of practical information contained in the booklet, as well as many wonderful old poultry and pigeon illustrations. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
