This book contains a detailed handbook on determining the sex of pure- and cross-bred chicks, with chapters on handing and care, common questions and problems, and more. Written in clear language and containing simple, step-by-step instructions, this profusely-illustrated guide will be of considerable utility to chicken owners and breeders, especially those who are new to the field. Contents Include: “foreword", "Introduction", "The Sexual Structure of Chicks", "Sex Determination at Birth", "Percentage Types of Genital Eminences", "Are the Chicks Harmed?", and "Useful Aids to Learning”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on poultry farming.
