Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Million Egg Farm: Rancocas Poultry Farm In the following pages I give you the record of an actual experience; there is not a guess, a dream, or a touch of fiction from the first sentence to the last - it is fact, plain unvarnished fact. If asked why I have written the book I may give several answers. First: When a man has achieved a marked success contrary to general expectation he has a pardonable pride in wishing the public to know the facts. Second: When he is convinced that multitudes of men now subsisting precariously on low wages may repeat his success on similar or smaller proportions it is not a very high order of benevolence that leads him to point out the way. Third: As he realizes that the instinct leading thousands of people "back to the land" and to the resources of nature is liable to grave mistakes and bitter disappointments, particularly when much of the guidance offered is based upon untested theories and guesses, he feels that he is only acting in the interests of common humanity in furnishing the absolutely reliable information which his own experience has supplied. Fourth: Political economy teaches that the well-being of the nation rests primarily upon the products of the soil and that unless all forms of farming are placed upon a scientific basis we are surely courting a widespread and terrible disaster.

Download or read book Locally Laid written by Lucie B. Amundsen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a Midwestern family with no agriculture experience went from a few backyard chickens to a full-fledged farm—and discovered why local chicks are better. When Lucie Amundsen had a rare night out with her husband, she never imagined what he’d tell her over dinner—that his dream was to quit his office job (with benefits!) and start a commercial-scale pasture-raised egg farm. His entire agricultural experience consisted of raising five backyard hens, none of whom had yet laid a single egg. To create this pastured poultry ranch, the couple scrambles to acquire nearly two thousand chickens—all named Lola. These hens, purchased commercially, arrive bereft of basic chicken-y instincts, such as the evening urge to roost. The newbie farmers also deal with their own shortcomings, making for a failed inspection and intense struggles to keep livestock alive (much less laying) during a brutal winter. But with a heavy dose of humor, they learn to negotiate the highly stressed no-man’s-land known as Middle Agriculture. Amundsen sees firsthand how these midsized farms, situated between small-scale operations and mammoth factory farms, are vital to rebuilding America’s local food system. With an unexpected passion for this dubious enterprise, Amundsen shares a messy, wry, and entirely educational story of the unforeseen payoffs (and frequent pitfalls) of one couple’s ag adventure—and many, many hours spent wrangling chickens.

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. Every step must be taken with wisdom. You shouldn't forget that there are other poultry businesses out there, so you'll certainly be competing with them. But then, if you take care of your chickens, and conduct your business carefully, then there's a high chance that it will grow fast. There's an increasing demand for poultry products by the day. Of these, eggs are the most demanded. So, are you wondering how to start a chicken farm that will produce healthy and fresh eggs for you? This guide will help.
