Chickens! Chickens!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Chicken Coops: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-224 (Paperback)
This was an interesting book with a good amount of practical imformation on the pros and cons of different types of housing, bedding, feed etc.for chickens. It was obviously written by someone with experience of chicken keeping. Whilst I appreciated the many practical tips, I was really looking for proper plans for building hen houses and was disappointed by the lack of specific drawings and measurements.Another book that may interest those just starting out in the chicken raising business is the beautifully colored and simply written paperback "Keeping Pet Chickens". Authors Johannes Paul and William Windham have produced this lovely book that will appeal and be accessible to anyone from 9 years to 99!

a good read,
This review is from: Building Chicken Coops: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-224 (Paperback)
if you are the type of person that wants to read a book about designing chicken coops, well this is a book about designing chicken coops. It's short and to the point.

country wisdom? look elsewhere ...,

This review is from: Building Chicken Coops: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-224 (Paperback)
So why, do you ask, did I give it one star? This guide is actually just a chapter from another of the author's books: "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens : Care / Feeding / Facilities". [Notice this is not mentioned in the publisher's passage above.] If you've purchased that particular guide book - and I assume you have been surfing the chickie books if you're thinking about raising chickens - then why would you spend another four bucks for this volume of repeated information? And for that matter, why specifically buy a coop book without knowing the rest of what you need to know about raising poultry, right? No clucks here - this here in-fo-ma-shun book-e-lette is going to be sent back to them there amazon pee-pul under the return reason: "flocking cheep trick, there, pard-ner".

Little booklet with simplistic information,
By Sara A. Howard "Independent Video Editor and ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building Chicken Coops: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-224 (Paperback)
I bought this book in combination with Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens and found the same information in both. The booklet was apparently excerpted from the book.I wouldn't bother investing money in this booklet, put the cash instead towards the full Storey's Guide where you will get the same information and more!! 63 of 67 people found the following review helpful

Don't Trust Amazon Reccomendation!!,
By S. Sloan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Building Chicken Coops: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-224 (Paperback)
I grabbed this after getting the Raising Chickens book by the same author. Amazon reccomended this book after I purchased the raising chickens bookm and since I planned on building a coop, I figured this information, along with the raising chickens book would be enough. But, much to my dismay, this Bulletin is more of an exerpt of the book. All the same information is covered in a chapter of the book. Don't waste your money on this at all if you get the other book.
