The Dollar Hen: The Classic Guide to American Free-Range Egg Farming
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.
