a backyard chicken bible,
By Garden Diva (Vancouver, CAN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens 3rd Edition (Paperback)
My hubby and I got backyard chickens a little while ago - and this has been a great resource for me (who had zero chicken experience). This has met my needs as well as those of my husband, who does have lots of hands-on poultry experience. Lots of nuts and bolts stuff about raising poultry, but also some really interesting insights - especially for the backyard chicken enthusiast. Learning to talk to my chickens??? Hilarious and surprisingly helpful!
This book has limited information on choosing breeds - but when combined with Storey's illustrated guide to poultry breeds you'll have everything you need to know to select and set up your own backyard flock with confidence- Even if you're a complete chicken rookie like me!

storeys guide to Raising Chickens,
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This book covered everything you need to know to get started and up and running. I wish I had purchased this book first. I had read 5 other books and nearly all the info of other books was covered in this book in more depth and easy to read format. It does give a brief description of different breeds. However if you are looking for a book just on different breeds you need to purchase a specific book.
