Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on scraps

For those of us who keep chickens and rabbits i thought id draw your attention to a great little book.  Its a modern reprint of a book first issued in 1941 called 'Keeping poultry and rabbits on scraps' a Penguin book which originally cost 1/6 or 7.5p for those of you too young to recall pre decimalisation. (now i know i'm old)

It was issued during the war to encourage ordinary people with small back gardens to keep chickens and rabbits for the eggs and meat during times of rationing. Its a fascinating read, with the very prim and proper style of writing that you dont see today.

I love the way the author calls chickens " a humble and slightly ridiculous creature"
