Customer Product Reviews
If you only buy one chicken book this should be it. Covers EVERYTHING in a readable, friendly, understandable manner. Detailed and comprehensive.
This is a great book for the beginner. I use it as a reference all the time. I never knew how enjoying and relaxing it is to own chickens. 2 years ago we bought 12 chicks at a local feed store, and not knowing anything, lost them all, but 2 roosters, to predators. So, when we ordered our chicks from you I also ordered this book. 6 months later I have 56 chickens alive and healthy. I use this book to help my feeding program, building a suitable pen and house, and anything else a beginner would need to know. Thank you so much for telling me that this was a good book and for all my wonderful chickens. Heidi BailesClovis, CA
