4 out of 5 stars Great for a starter   July 17, 2008
This is a lovely little book full of nice colour pictures. If you are completely brand new to chicken keeping this book is a good starter for you - it was to me! You'll soon find though that you'll be looking for one with a bit more detail and specific information.

I bought this book because of everyone else comments, saying how good it was. But I don't feel like its told me anything I don't know. Of course you need to use dust mite powder or to check for fleas, these are very simple things. But there's no information on what to do if your hen's looking ill or any real health advice. Very disappointing.


4 out of 5 stars Good book for those considering to keep pet Chucks   May 14, 2008

I got this book before getting my chickens and it gave me a high level overview of what would be required. I would recommend this book to any one considering getting pet chickens but once you have your chucks you will probably be best getting a more detailed book to help with those niggly intial queries.


5 out of 5 stars An Eggciting Read!   October 20, 2007
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

This is a really great book for anyone considering to keep chickens in their garden. It explains the anatomy of the chicken and egg in good detail and goes so far as to telling you what a chickens daily routine is!

With great pictures and helpful hints, this book is a must buy for any potential poultry proprietor!



4 out of 5 stars great kids book   July 9, 2007
 10 out of 15 found this review helpful

A good first book when you are thinking about getting 'pet' chickens. It is worded simply, no jargon and is a great book to share with your kids. I think if you want just a basic knowledge then this is the book for you, but if you want more (more than pretty pictures and text aimed at youngsters aka dorling kindersley style) you should buy a different book. If I didn't have young kids to pass this book onto to read I'd think it was a bit of a waste of money, sorry.
