Please note regarding downloads:

If you have come to this page for the downloads I am offering, it is likely because you bought my book The Small-Scale Poultry Flock, Revised Edition, and would like to work with “live-action” spreadsheet versions of the tables in Appendices E, F, and G. If that is the case, thank you for buying my book—I hope it will be useful. I hope these spreadsheets will as well prove useful tools in your own projects.

Note the following about the downloads offered here:

  • There are small errors in some of the tables printed in the book which in the next print run we will correct. Meanwhile assume that these spreadsheet files are correct. If you find obvious errors, let me know.
  • © The specific content of these download files is copyright by Harvey Ussery, 2022. However, you may start with the spreadsheets as working models and modify them in any way you like.
  • You may download each of the three files in either Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc format. Pay attention to which format you are requesting when you download.
  • I assume basic competence in the use of spreadsheets and will not answer questions about spreadsheet operations.
  • You are welcome to send me questions about the design and use of my specific spreadsheets.
  • While as said you are free to modify any of these spreadsheets, I will not answer questions about modifications you make. However, I would be interested in hearing about ways you’ve modified sheets for use in your own projects.

This is the first time I have offered downloads on www.themodernhomestead.us. If you have suggestions for improving the user experience on this page or with the downloads please let me know. ~Harvey
