Books about Brooding from Amazon.com

In Success With Baby Chicks, I cover everything you need to know about raising chicks through the brooding period (starting with day-old chicks and ending when they no longer need extra heat), with an emphasis on clear, upbeat, practical advice. The book includes many "Lost Secrets of the Poultry Masters": pieces of advice that were once widely publicized but have been largely forgotten.

No aspect of chicken keeping is as crucial as the brooding period. You can't be successful with chickens unless you raise happy, healthy baby chicks. Everyone knows this is true, but no one else gives it the attention it deserves! You won't get this information anywhere else.

I devote entire chapters to subjects that are normally dismissed in a paragraph or two, such as litter or waterers. Overhead infrared lamp brooding has a chapter to itself. Cold-weather brooding is discussed in detail. I do it because these things are important. Skimping on detail, which is what most books do, leaves the reader in the dark, and the chicks suffer..

"Brooding Clouds" is a posthumous collection of short stories and poems that were written as a prequel to Phaswane Mpe's acclaimed bestseller, "Welcome to Our Hillbrow". In these thematically linked stories, we meet the organic roots of the emblematic characters and concerns of the later novel. Written with an expressive simplicity that evokes the rural soul of tiny Tiragalong and its neighbouring village of Nobody, Mpe's stories speak out strongly on issues close to his heart.The poems form a tandem narrative that is gritty, topical and observant and which articulates the dilemmas of inner city living, along with the broader conundrums of Tiragalong, Hillbrow and South Africa..
