Review: I have checked this book out, along with many others, from our local library. This book has, by far, the most information. I was just beginning to raise chickens and it was a tremendous help to me.

Review: It seems to be an imformative book, but it doesn't define the different terms so that a beginner can understand what he's talking about. What is the chicken's vent or shank in plain language? Why does he assume I would know what culling is? What is a waddle? Just a few of the terms not defined and frequently not explained well.

Review: This book was very informative. The information on egg storage and incubation was invaluable. I also appreciated the section on caponization which was something I have been wanting to learn about. This book is very easy to understand, and the information that it contains has helped both me and my husband get our chicken project off to a great start. I liked this book so much in fact, that I gave my first copy to my Father-in-Law for his birthday! (He runs our other farm in WV, and is my partner on the Project) We refer to this book over the phone all the time. Even though he is a "Seasoned Farmer", he finds himself relying on the information just as much as I do. Great for beginners and pros!
