Rabbits are a very good means of starting backyarding. If you have never kept animals and have literally nothing larger than a backyard, you can still achieve a certain enjoyable independence by producing your own meat from rabbits. You can rediscover the taste of real meat, produced without the aid of drugs and growth stimulants, such as anabolic steroids, which are fed to some of our farm animals now.

Most of the experiments in keeping poultry on a large scale have either failed entirely or only partially succeeded. What is the cause of failure in such cases? Is it to be found in any inherent difficulty in the system itself, or does it arise from the want of the application of rational principles ? Why should not poultry keeping as a business succeed as well in proportion to the number kept as poultry keeping on a small scale? Why may not an individual succeed as well with a thousand inmates of his poultry yard as with fifty or a hundred, provided he gives the proper attention to the individual wants and requirements of each? This little work attempts to answer these questions.
