How to Raise Chickens: Everything You Need to Know, Updated & Revised (FFA) Flexibound – January 21, 2013

I bought this as a gag for my 3 and 9 year old daughters who kept talking about chickens. "If you girls keep talking about chickens, I can get you a book on how to raise chickens for Hanukkah! Instead of any other gift" Eventually they got the hint and stopped talking about chickens, however I got the book anyway and the book is actually pretty good.

This is just the reference book I needed to make sure I'm doing things right with my chickens, or to read through when something arises. Highly recommended!

This is a must have book for anyone thinking about raising chickens. Even if you have a small backyard, you can still have chickens and fresh eggs. It's got nice glossy pages with photos, so my kids loved reading this book too.

I felt this didn't give me as much information as other Chicken books I have read. It was Ok.

I think I have bought every one of these books because they are so educational! As a soon to be homesteader - there is no better way to prepare than reading these books!

Just what I needed for learning how to care for my chickens.

I was hoping for a book with a lot more information on raising chicks the first few months.It touches on this area in a few paragraphs but that is about it.If you are looking for thorough insight into chicken breeds and their history, or how to hatch chicks from eggs, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, not so much.

Really found the book informative on how to build coops, different breeds of chickens, feeds. About all I needed to know about backyard chickens.
