Donna: If you are thinking of raising chickens, this book is a must. Filled with in depth information for a successful experience. I purchased to learn about the best housing, feeding and safety. I learned that it was easy more of a commitment than I truly had time for. That's how informative it is.

Krystin YevickKrystin Yevick: This is a must have book for first time chicken owners!! I am a straight beginner. Never have had chickens in my life nor been around them enough to know anything about them. I have gained so much knowledge in this book between behavior, egg colors, chicken breeds, chicken coop builds/must haves, etc. it even gets down into bedding to make sure you choose the correct one for you and your butt nuggets! Me being a first time chicken mom I didn’t even know the questions to ask google and I felt literally clueless. I knew of some questions but felt like I was missing so much information. This book answers all questions along with more knowledge you wouldn’t even know to ask google. I highly recommend this book! I take a highlighter and highlight all my must know things so they are easy to look back and fine and also on the sides of the pages there is room to hand write notes! Amazing book! Can’t get enough of it! I also had a hen drop a egg the night I got the book, first egg I’ve ever experienced had no clue what to do with the egg and went to the book and learned everything I needed to know on how to store and care for my fresh egg! Thank you so much for giving me all the...

Genevieve Dorion: Tres bien fait a l’exception de quelques erreurs dans les mesures des plans ce qui fait la réalisation plu compliqué quand on connait pas grand choses a la construction

HWald: If this is the first book you buy about chickens, it will probably be fine, but as you learn more about chicken care and health a book with a deeper content and more advanced information will be required. I found some details would have been nice to know more about in a beginner’s book, but in general the author covers all the major topics clearly. The book is nicely laid out, easy to understand, full colour, and a great beginner’s guide for someone who knows nothing at all about keeping chickens. If you are trying to decide if chickens are for you or not, this is the perfect starting point. If you already have some books or have been researching on your own, this book is not for you.

Online Shopper: Easy, fun book to read. I do feel that this book (alongside an amazon prime video series (Becky's)) has prepared me well for keeping chickens, with good advice of everything required to raise chicks and chickens well. I am sure that I will keep coming back to this book as a reference support throughout my chicken adventures.
I knocked one star off, as this is really written for a American audience. It refers to US shops and products, so you will need to figure out the UK (or other) equivalents. Nevertheless recommended read if you like me are new to the world of chicken keeping. So keen to get my little chicks now!
