Description
Chickens were the unsung heroes of Western Canada’s early 20th century, feeding families and supporting farming operations. Feathers on the Frontier explores the practical aspects of pioneer poultry keeping while paying tribute to the homesteaders that shaped our nation.
---
Modern poultry production bears little resemblance to its rustic origins. At the turn of the 20th century, chicken farming was a colourful, small-scale endeavor brimming with diversity!
Feathers on the Frontier transports readers back to the early days of prairie poultry keeping, a time when robust, resilient “heritage” breeds reigned supreme.
Rich in historical detail, this book documents the poultry culture and flock management practices of the 1900 to 1920 homesteading era, revealing the humble beginnings of Western Canada’s chicken and egg industries.
