What a great book, thank you Google books!
I am hoping that once the planting season is over and I finish the 2 coops and breeding pens for my flocks I will be able to post more. I am in the process of reading the book in the Title. This book was written in 1750 and covers hatching and breeding practices from Roman times to the mid 18th century. Would you believe they used bake ovens to hatch eggs! Big difference from the incubators we use today. The interesting thing is that they did actually incubate eggs and not just let the hens go broody and hatch their own. More to come soon... I promise.
