Feathers on the Frontier: A Portrait Of Pioneer Poultry Keeping - Paperback

by Kathryn Stevenson (Author)

Modern poultry production bears little resemblance to its rustic origins. At the turn of the 20th century, chicken farming was a colourful, small-scale endeavor brimming with diversity!

Feathers on the Frontier transports readers back to the early days of prairie poultry keeping, a time when robust, resilient "heritage" breeds reigned supreme.

Rich in historical detail, this book documents the poultry culture and flock management practices of the 1900 to 1920 homesteading era, revealing the humble beginnings of Western Canada's chicken and egg industries.
