A delightful edition of an English wartime favorite
First issued in 1941, when the food shortages of World War II made it essential for every scrap of kitchen waste to be used to feed the nation, this book enabled the meager wartime rations to be supplemented in thousands of homes by a regular supply of eggs and meat. Reissued specially for the growing number of people interested in organic and locally grown food sources, this quirky volume contains everything that the small-scale raiser of rabbits or poultry needs to know. Egg-production, buying, housing, feeding, breeding, and diseases are all fully dealt with by experts, while simple and practical instructions are charmingly enhanced by the original illustrations.

Review by Kathryn Mae Broege for Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on Scraps (Penguin Handbooks)
Rating:
I really enjoyed this little book even though I’m experienced at raising rabbits and poultry,it gives a little perspective on how challenging it was to obtain feed and rations during wartime and how important it was for people to raise rabbits and poultry during this time.It gives alot of useful advice for raising rabbits and poultry in a very practical and earthy way,I especially like that it describes the Oscend method of dressing a rabbit for the table and also offers great advice for maintaining a setting hen and hatching your own chicks and ducklings.I recommend this book for beginners and experienced poultry and rabbit keepers,it is an enjoyable and informative read.

There was nothing wrong with this book, but it was *very* basic – a reprint of a very old government manual. Good thing that it was cheap…..

Thinking about keeping a few chickens or rabbits? Get this book. Even if you are an “expert”, you will still get something out of it.
