       | Cool I was planning a chicken coop to build out and get a handful
       | of them in the backyard, probably won't be reading the entirity
       | of this Tome but interesting none the less. And some cool old
       | art, pg 595 geese was the best one i randomly flipped to.

       | In his words: "...we discovered that the more recent poultry
       | books were not in tune with the needs of small farmers, while
       | older books were. We read several hundred poultry publications,
       | eventually choosing three to bring back into print..."
