What reading level is The Illustrated book of Domestic Poultry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" Fowls, in their native haunts, never lay more in a season than what they can hatch, from which we may partly conclude that no artificial means are required to induce a hen to sit as soon as she has laid her hatch, but that she does not do so in many instances, in consequence of the eggs being taken from the nest." Very few people try the experiment, not choosing to risk the eggs ; therefore we are left to conjecture the results of such practice gene- rally. In an individual case, to which Mr.... Trotter refers,t it appears to have had the effect. " The eggs were not taken • Buffon, tome iii. p. 186. f Trotter's "Prize Easay." s 274 DOMESTIC POULTRY.
from the nest, and as soon as she had laid about thirteen, she commenced to sit." By taking away the eggs of phea- sants, the same writer adds, as fast as they are laid, as many as fifty may be got from one pheasant in a season ; whereas we are to infer she would sit, when the ordinary number for incubation had been laid, if not robbed of her eggs, and thus induced to lay more.
