This revised guide to humane poultry production, first published in 2004 by the Northeast Organic Farming Association, is part of an eight volume series (available individually and as a set) written for farmers, homesteaders, and experienced gardeners transitioning to organic methods. The handbook covers organic poultry basics, establishing the facilities, purchasing and brooding chicks, organic feed and supplements, poultry healthcare in the organic system, specific management issues, and organic slaughter and processing. Appendices supply sources for housing and equipment, fencing, pullets, hatcheries, certified organic feed, and veterinary products, as well as recommended websites and sample feed recipes. Glos owns and operates Kingbird Farm in upstate New York. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
