This book of Römer and Weinmiller occupies a special place among literature dealing with poultry breeding. Leading experts in poultry breeding research have created it, so that it is not surprising that the first edition was sold out within a very short time. The new edition has been valuably supplemented and revised. All kinds of questions which engage the attention of poultry keepers and breeders are fully and clearly treated and reference is made to the most recent data obtained from practical and scientific research. Housing, feeding, utility breeding, profit making, breed questions, hereditariness, organisation are treated in the same thorough manner. From the development of the chicken in the egg to the attractively composed sales advertisement one can find everything that the breeder or keeper of the present day needs.
