Large-fowl chickens

These are very popular and there are many breeds to choose from (see pages 10–22)

Guinea fowl

Seed-eating, ground-nesting, partridge-like birds, sometimes known as guinea hens (see page 73)

Bantams

Smaller than large-fowl chickens, they are popular as egg layers (see pages 23–27)

Quails

Classified as game birds and related to pheasants, they can fly (see page 72)

Ducks

Easier to keep than chickens, they are often more prolific egg layers (see pages 68–71)
