It explains why the market for these tender birds has expanded beyond elite tables, making them a practical choice for anyone from a backyard hobbyist to a larger‑scale farmer. The author draws on decades of hands‑on experience, presenting the information in clear, straightforward language.

Detailed sections cover feeding regimens, disease prevention, and the essentials of selling to local markets. Whether you’re looking to supplement a family income or explore a full‑time venture, the book equips you with the tools to start small and grow confidently.
