I purchased this book after buying some chicks for my kids last Easter. After having the chicks for a few days and us all falling in love with them and their antics, I decided that I better learn some more about chickens so that we would be able to better care for them. That's when I came across this book at our local library. It was great!!! The writer did a wonderful job in covering all the basics we needed to get started. We continued checking this book out several times before I ordered it from Amazon.

I refrence this book frequently, using it to learn how to do everything from select the correct feed we needed, to building the coop, to managing the health of our little flock. My family has found that taking care of our chickens has been very rewarding and expect to expand our flock next spring.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting started raising chickens. It is well written and easily understood. It covers everything you need to know, starting with selecting what breed to purchase all the way up to butchering and selling eggs.

They really should change the title to "Storey's Comprehensive Guide to Raising Chickens." I read several books on raising chickens before I purchased a single chick and this one was the most comprehensive and covered everything you need to know to raise chickens for meat, eggs or to show.

Since I had no idea what to do, This book was the best! Murry McMurry Hatchery recommended this book. It was worth the money. I have learned so much. But what is funny is when I talk to friends who have raised chicks before and I would say "well what I read in the book" I get that weird look like I'm reading to much... My babies are doing great and I will continue reading this book...

If I could only have one chicken raising book,this might be it! It covers breeding, raising chicks, hatching eggs...even butchering! Very useful.
