All you need to know August 15, 2010

Being a total novice as keeping hens, I had initially borrowed this book from the library. What a great book this is, it tells you nearly everything you need to know and anything else is only to be learnt by actually keeping them. Have recommended this book to friends who also keep hens and they totally agree with my comments. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Mr. Paul Allingon (england)
As a complet new comer to keeping chickens, I have found that I have kept returning to the book to answere all those questions that you need to know. The book goes a little further, with recipes and craft ideas that have kept my grand daughter happy for hours.

 A Chicken Coffee Table Book June 25, 2010
Researcher (London UK)
This book does have lots of lovely pictures but I am perfectly happy to forego them in favour of a lot of technical stuff and line drawings when necessary. You can't have too much technical stuff. If there's too much for the moment you will need it later. I can't quite think who the book is really designed for. Not for me obviously, although as one of the other reviewers says it has great charm. But one is not overburdened with facts. It's the sort of small book that chickens would buy if they had coffee tables. Or ladies who fancy themselves 'country' and waft around stockbroker territory gardens in flowing flowery print dresses with trug filled with blooms for their flower arrangements. They might fantasize gathering eggs for dinner party mayonnaise or salads Nicoise, friends congraulating them on their cleverness - if the gardner could be persuaded to look after the chickens. Yes, it's a ladies book and I'm an unreconstructed bloke and don't care. When I picked up my chickens I must have looked as if my main interest was in eating them because the woman (not lady) who sold them to me and who genuinely was into chickens, wouldn't let me go without an extensive lecture on how to care for them even though I told her I had a book. Everything she said was different from the book, but don't let me discourage anyone from buying it. It really is pretty and it makes everything look lovely and easy which keeping chickens seems to be so far although the foxes check out the chickens every evening in case I make a mistake.
 Eggxactly what was requird! May 10, 2010
Ms. Linda D. Thurston (Staffs. UK)
This book was a gift for a friend who is hoping to keep chickens in the near future. She was absolutely delighted with it It is both informative and easy to read. Full of useful information and plenty of photos of chickens and bantams. There is also a section at the end with recipes for eggs and various crafts such as painted eggs and card making.
Although I did not know it when purchasing this book; her sister-in-law, a chicken owner of many years, had reccomended it as the best book for a prospective chicken keeper.
