Heinrich Kreuser: Leitfaden der Hühnerhaltung

Guide to chicken farming

Heinrich Kreuser is a "learned" poultry breeding master and makes the experience from his working life available to all hobby and leisure breeders in particular.

The book is written "from the practice for the practice" in an understandable way. It explains the history of our domestic chickens, describes the development and feeding from chick to adult, the breeding as well as the exhibition system and informs about the most important chicken diseases.

A well-founded guidebook especially for beginners who want to avoid mistakes around the keeping of chickens and want to understand their animals better.
