Crane's book "6000 Laying Hens On One Acre" is a short guide to keeping laying hens for egg purposes. Written in 1912, this classic text contains information on how to maximize the use of space for laying hens. Crane's unique system incorporated the use of very small hen houses to maximize the use space, allowing small farmers with only a limited amount of space to raise laying hens on a large scale. While the days of small farmers competing with large egg farms are now a thing of the past, Crane's long last system is of great value to small organic farms and homesteaders looking to produce a steady supply of eggs from only a small space. Complete with details on how to construct coops for laying hens, as well insights into the care of chickens for egg production.

Book excerpt: Poultry farming has been in practice for over 150 million years. The origin of poultry farming can be traced to South East Asia. Charles Darwins believed that present-day hens came from the "Gallus Bankiva," which originated in a broad area of Asia extending from India to the Philippines. Now, birds such as geese, ducks, pigeons, turkey, guinea fowl and chickens are included under the general term poultry. Poultry are a great source of food and fiber to humans. These foods come in the form of meat and eggs. Fiber comes in the form of feathers. You see, there's an increase in the number of people participating in poultry fairs. Many people love them as pets, or for egg production. The thing is, there's a large commercial chicken industry that provides us with lots of meat and eggs. According to a 2017 publication by Antonio Gilberto Bertechini, over 67 million metric tonnes of eggs were produced globally in 2013. Roughly 6.9 billion hens took charge of egg production. The combined efforts of these hens resulted in the production of 1250 billioneggs for a global population of 7.137 billion people which calculates to almost one hen per person. In 1991, the American hens produced over 5.7 billion dozen eggs. The poultry industry comprises of turkey and broilers. About 6.1 billion broilers were produced in the United States in 1991. This represents roughly 19.7 billion pounds of ready-to-cook broiler meat. The fact is, the poultry industry is a very big business. It all begins with poultry breeding. Selected males and females of special breeds are mated and the eggs are harvested and incubated. Usually, they're incubated for 21 days. The chicks are then brooded in rooms whose temperatures are strictly controlled. Upon maturing, the birds are sent off as roasters or broilers for consumption as meat, or further grown as breeders or laying hens. In the United States, poultry farming is supervised by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the United Kingdom, it is supervised by the Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs. As you can see, poultry egg and poultry farming are no small businesses. If you are planning to start your own poultry farm, then you should enter the business fully prepared by taking all of its aspects into consideration, right from setting up the basic equipment to raising the birds, and even marketing your business.

There is absolutely no country in the world, except perhaps the Arctic regions, - where man has not reared ducks, chickens and other poultry for table purposes down the centuries. Apart from these being an easy source of eggs to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, you also knew that you would have a tough old rooster for dinner, when a large number of family members popped in unexpectedly, demanding sustenance. We are going to be concentrating on chicken farming, for domestic purposes in this book. You have this dream of raising chickens in your backyard. You are interested in a continuous supply of eggs, and the occasional chicken for your pot of a Sunday. Layers are those chickens, which are normally raised for egg production. The chickens which are going to go straight into the pot are called broilers. Since ancient times, human beings have been raising poultry for domestic purposes and also for marketing purposes. Poultry farming has been a part of rural life in the east down the centuries. All the kitchen waste was fed to the hens. These hens came under the 21st century poultry farming term - free ranging. That meant they were allowed to scratch about in the backyard, getting their fill of insects, worms, green vegetables, organic matter, and was it a wonder that they laid delicious, nutritious, and proteinaceous eggs? Every intelligent householder kept three or four hens depending on the size of his family, and he bought a cock from the market, when he needed chickens. Once a clutch of chickens was hatched, Cocky Locky went into the cook pot. One of the common mistakes made by new poultry farmers is buying a large number of birds, because they are not very clear about whether they want these words for home consumption or they want to trade in the eggs and poultry meat. Around 50 years ago, one of my father's colleagues was facing this problem. He had this huge garden and backyard. He had heard about dad rearing poultry in that garden successfully. So he also wanted to experiment in this exciting new activity which would keep his family well supplied with eggs, and fresh meat. So the next time dad went visiting to his base on a tour, he asked dad the best way to raise birds without too much of a hassle. You are going to get these easy tips in the book.
