Synopsis
For 17 years readers have turned to Storey Books for advice on raising animals. Our Modern Way series of six books has sold more than 1,000,000 copies. In an effort to provide readers with the best how-to animal books on the market we are completely updating all six Modern Way titles and reintroducing them as part of our Guide to Raising series. Written by experts, these guides give novice and experienced livestock farmers all they need to know to successfully keep and profit from animals. Each book includes information on selection, housing, space requirements, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, behavior, and health concerns and remedies for illness. The books also address the business of raising animals -- processing meat, milk, eggs, and more. The authors were chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to explain the ins and outs of animal husbandry in an inviting and authoritative manner. Whether readers are ready to start an entire herd or flock or are considering purchasing their first animal, Storey's Guide to Raising series offers vital information; each book is an indispensable reference., Whether you're running a farm or interested in keeping a few backyard birds, Storey's Guide to Raising Poultry covers everything you need to know to successfully raise your own chickens, turkeys, waterfowl, and more. Stressing humane practices throughout, Glenn Drowns provides expert advice on breed selection, housing, feeding, behavior, breeding, health care, and processing your own meat and eggs. With tips on raising specialty species like doves, ostriches, and peafowl, you'll be inspired to experiment with new breeds and add diversity to your poultry operation.

- 0***2 (319)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was in decent condition. Seller did not ship for over 2 weeks, which seemed a bit excessive.
- m***l (322)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOn June 4, 2025 I ordered “UFO Crash at Roswell” by Kevin D. Randle in Very Good condition. I never received shipping instructions until after I contacted the seller. Finally today after 17 days I received a shipment, but it was not UFO Crash at Roswell in Very Good condition. Instead it was “Again the Magic” by Lisa Kleypas in poor condition. I am a frequent eBay customer. This is the by far worst experience I have ever had at eBay. I want a full refund an never experience this seller
- h***h (9)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseVery good condition
- o***_ (34)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book was in worse condition than I expected but I think this may have had to do with the packaging. It was a heavier hard cover and the plastic wrap probably wasn't enough to protect it from travel damage. However, it was a very good deal and I'm happy with this purchase!! Thanks again!
