5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a beginner!

I have toyed with the idea of having chickens for a while now. I know a little because friends have taken the plunge but this guide was very helpful. Chickens come with their own set of issues and considerations and this book lays it all out - good and bad - so that you don't make an expensive and traumatic mistake. It offers the pros and cons, the different breeds, what you can expect and the kicker for me, the predators that can decimate your flock if you aren't prepared. Great book!

This book was very thorough, it told all the steps that you need to take care of chickens...I am interested in raising chickens (for the eggs), and this book has answered many if not all the questions I have had. I'm doing more research on the types of chickens, and their vaccines that would be needed and my local laws before investing time and money into this hobby.

These pillows are nice. That said, I think they are a bit expensive. I think I could buy cheaper at any Retail Store. They ARE quite comfy though.
Sorry, I just messed up. I meant to review pillows!!

I always wanted to start my own little chicken coop in the backyard. After reading this guide I'm convinced this is doable and I can count on getting fresh organic eggs for my breakfast. I really liked the chapter describing the different types of chickens so you can choose what's right for you.

This book is full of facts about Raising Chickens.
I found the section on the types of chickens and why eggs sometimes do not develop Very fascinating. Until I read this book I had no idea there was so much to consider in raising these birds.

3.0 out of 5 stars good book to get
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
Having recently acquired 3 hens, I thoroughly researched lots of information prior to getting them. So I found this book very basic and it didn't really tell me anything I didn't know already. So if you are intending to buy chickens and haven't done any research it would be a reasonably, albeit short, good book to get.
