The Portable Poultry Unit on the Arable Farm

Abstract

The financial success of the portable poultry unit is considered to be definitely established, and it is a system that can be recommended with confidence for the mixed farm. The only drawbacks are its somewhat forcing nature and the fact that it is confined to birds of a light breed, whose stamina is frequently not very good. It is to be hoped that the Rhode Island-Leghorn crossbreds possessing a considerably greater stamina than the purebreds will respond equally well to the system.
