More Backyard Poultry

It was pointed out to me in my previous backyard poultry post that Rutgers has few resources about backyard poultry and many of these are older.  I put together a set of resources that can be used as an overview about small flocks and backyard poultry.  Most of these are taken from the University of Kentucky, which has an excellent set of backyard poultry materials (Kentucky Extension Services).
