Starting with Bantams - by David Scrivener

This excellent book is written by an experienced bantam and large fowl poultry breeder and show judge.

Covering soft feather bantams, hard-feather bantams, true bantams and rare breed bantams, it is an ideal introduction to a popular subject.

Illustrated with 45 colour photographs and 66 mono photographs and line drawings, probably the best guide to keeping bantams available and at an affordable price.

It looks at all aspects of practical bantam management and handling, including housing, choosing breeds and stock, breeding, showing and health.
