The
editor
of
Rural
Heritage
has
written
a
first-rate
guide
for
the
small
producer
interested
in
healthful
meat
and
eggs
as
well
as
the
exotic
breed
fancier
raising
birds
for
show.
Having
published
a
number
of
general
guides
to
backyard
poultry,
including
one
for
children,
Damerow
here
concentrates
on
everything
that
can
go
wrong:
diseases;
problems
associated
with
keeping
birds
in
close
quarters
or
caging
them;
litter;
cannibalism;
vitamin
deficiency,
resulting
in
poor
molting;
incubators
that
are
too
hot
or
too
cold;
predators;
and
the
invasions
of
rats.
She
stresses
that
the
best
preventative
measures
involve
protecting
one's
flock
against
outside
influences
(such
as
wild
birds
or
other
chickens),
careful
culling,
and
balanced
nutrition.
Damerow
is
a
good
writer,
carefully
walking
the
line
between
insulting
the
reader's
intelligence,
a
flaw
with
many
books
of
this
sort,
and
giving
more
technical
information
than
growers
need.
Her
discussion
of
how
one
keeps
straight
which
chick
came
from
which
mating--which
involves
the
injection
of
food
dyes
into
fertilized
eggs,
and
carefully
marking
the
webbings
of
feet--is
downright
ingenious.
Flawless.
