Prof. Frederick B. Hutt's massive Genetics of the Fowl has been the go-to reference book for serious chicken breeders since it was first published in 1947. No later work comes close to its usefulness to the chicken breeder. Its final chapter, Genetics in Practice, is a book within a book, a gold mine of practical, proven advice to how to approach breeding problems, which methods to use for which problems, the limitations of different strategies, and more.
Norton Creek Press is making Genetics in Practice available for the first time in an affordable Kindle edition.
