        Free-Range Poultry Production & Marketing, the classic book
published in 1996 by Herman Beck-Chenoweth has been completely revised and
updated as of December 2006.  The revised edition contains up-dated feed
formulas (including a discussion on poultry nutrition and meat and bone
meal), illustrated and extended information on artificial insemination of
chickens and turkeys, new skid designs and an up-dated section on marketing.
        The revised edition is bound in an 8 ½ x 11 ring-binder format for
ease of use and is especially helpful when building feeders, nest boxes or
skid houses.  All plans contain complete construction call-outs.   The
section on direct marketing to restaurants and farmer's markets is highly
detailed as is a complete section on slaughter details and the advantages of
building an on-farm processing plant.
