“Keeping
Broiler Chickens Well”
has
been written for the backyard and small scale chicken farmer who wants to rear
chickens with a difference.

| Chickens walking freely in and out of the chicken run. |
The
author promotes a manner of raising broiler chickens in which the well being of
the chicken and of the consumer comes firsts. The small scale farmer, unlike the
industrial producers, should not as a
matter of routine put chicks on antibiotics from start to finish or treat them
as part of a mechanical production process where numbers are more important
than quality. You, broiler keeper, must
seek to avoid antibiotics by good management and stay away from feed
supplements that contain hormones and other undesirable substances. You, this booklet says, can avoid these and other harmful
practices because you are a small scale grower. Exploit that position!
And, this booklet says, you consumer, be mindful of the fact that whatever has been put into this chicken might wind up in your very own system!!!
