1750 1st ed Reaumur Art of Hatching Fowl BIRDS Chicken Farming Poultry Eggs

Rene-Antoine Reaumur's 'The Art of Hatching and Bringing up Domestic Fowl' is a one of the best treatises on raising and keeping large birds. Reaumur, more known for his work as an entomologist, had a large collection of domesticated birds. It was from his experiences with these birds that he published his book that, according to Wood,

"is an important early work on artificial incubation, mostly experiments with manure heaps and a baker's oven"

The experiments in this book are highly detailed and are illustrated by 15 impressive engravings. First English edition published in London.
