I really like how this book is written for beginners. It covers a broad range of avenues and is very comprehensive. It is easy to read and understand. I bought it after I got my chickens, because I felt I needed a little help. The poultry store I got my chickens from gave it high remarks, so I bought this book. I wish I would have bought it before I got my chickens! As with about all books, there are some ideas I have not used; but, over all, I have injoyed reading it and applying what I have learned.

this book has all the information and more that I needed to raise chickens. It should be called, "raising chickens for dummies" as it would apply in my case. Very complete guide - i'm more then impressed!

This is a book from Storey Books. These fine people have been put on this earth to show people how to raise Chickens, beef cattle, diary goats, ducks, horses, llamas, pigs, poultry, rabbits, sheep, turkeys and books on practically anything a person needs to know about living in the country/city areas. I will continue to look for their books because they are so well written and the pictures are clear cut.

Serious about chickens? Get the best book availableReview created: 01/13/09

Gail Damerow has wworked with her chickens so long that reading the book sounds like you are hearing direectly from the chickens themselves. We read this book several times from the library; and decided we realy need "Raising Chickens" as part of our permenant library. Granted, we are beginnerws. But following the counsel this book provides enabled us to successfully raise our first chicks. We enjoy eggs from them almost every day; and believe me, you never tasted GOOD eggs until you have them still ward from the bird. Get the book - raise some chicks yourself - you'll be very, very glad you did. Carolyn & Chuck

Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens
) 
Our Gandson raises chicken's on our farm. The book is a great assest to us. It tells about everything that you need to start raising chicken's. It is also a excellent book for anyone who raises chicken's. There is nothing that we dislike about the book. I would give this book a A. It's one of the most accurate books on farm animals that we have.

What you're getting intoExcellent guide to selecting chickens and what you're going to need to raise a good flock. Extremely detailed section on breeds and good charts of what those breeds are best for (meat or eggs). I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of information presented. But, this is a new subject so that is very understandable. One thing I do know is there is a whole lot more that I don't know. I can hardly wait to finish reading it.

Great book!This is a very comprehensive guide to raising chickens for everyone from beginner to expert. We checked it out at the library and after reading it, we had to have a copy of our own. Includes chapters on housing, feeding, butchering, breeding, diseases and more.

Storey's Guide to raising chickens.Review created: 02/03/08

This is an excellent book and is my second copy. I loaned the first to a friend and needed to start another flock. It gives detailed information on breeds to select for your area, breeds for laying egss, meat, etc. We were complete "flatlanders", ie novice chicken farmers and this book helped us create a henhouse and a flock of chickens that gave us 2 dozen eggs a day. Our small family only needs a few eggs, so our friends and neighbors love us! Even children notice the difference between store bought eggs and natural free range eggs.
PLUS you do not need a rooster, so city dwellers can keep a few girls in the garden and presto....no bugs and fresh eggs every day!
