Most poultry books lied about the profits, so Milo Hastings wrote an honest one. The Dollar Hen asks the blunt questions: is there real money in poultry, and which branch of the business actually pays? Data-driven, skeptical, and refreshingly frank, it steered a generation past the get-rich schemes. Count the dollars before you count the hens.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
