Editorial Reviews
Book Description
THE DOLLAR HEN is America's classic handbook on free-range egg production. First Published in 1909, it walks the reader through valuable concepts available in no other source. With an emphasis on simplicity, practicality, and the synergy between hens, crops, soil, and farmer, the book is a timeless guide to poultry farming as it ought to be practiced.

About the Author
Author Milo M. Hastings (1884-1957) has the unusual distinction of being the only poultry scientist ever to write a classic work of science fiction (CITY OF ENDLESS NIGHT, 1919). He was also a health-food pioneer and wrote an early work on the dangers of high blood pressure.

Editor Robert Plamondon keeps a flock of 600 free-range hens on his farm in Blodgett, Oregon, using methods inspired by THE DOLLAR HEN.
