We raised chickens when I was a kid. I knew how to kill, pluck, and clean chickens. Ater I got married we raised chickens, rabbits, and some lambs. I found some really good books called Raising *insert animal here* The Modern Way. They had some good tips on designing chicken houses or things to watch out for with sheep, etc.

I learned to raise trout commercially mostly from a California State Hatchery Manual. We did OK with that. We made our own incubators (commercial ones cost too much), spawned our own fish, and made some of our own demand feeders. You can learn a lot in books if you have some common sense to go with it.
