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
 
Did You Know?

Chickens will molt at about 18 months of age. Molting is where they loose all or some of their feathers and stop producing eggs. This is a natural shedding of feathers. Molting may take 2-4 months.
