Backyard Farming: Raising Chickens: From Building Coops to Collecting Eggs and More

We purchased this book to help us get a better understanding of raising chickens. We were very impressed with the amount of information that was in the book it hits all the great points on how to raise chickens straight from incubation. It has many different tips and helpful hints on all things chickens. I loved the recipes in the back of the book once the chickens start laying eggs you can use them to make anything egg related. One thing I would love to see different would be the chapter cover illistrations. Some of them are difficult to see and used twice. My children also found it very informative. I was able to show them different pictures with in the book to better explain how to care for chickens with visual. Over all we loved this book!

I am planning on getting chickens this year and so I started doing some research. Found this book because of price and picked it up. It’s a quick read on raising chickens. Great book for beginners.

This is a good intro to chicken raising for someone who has never been closer than chicken sitting on a platter. Before I launch into chicken raising at our mission in Africa, I'll get a book with a little more meat.

Really good book for the beginning chicken keeper. Well written with plenty of detailed explanations and descriptive pictures of everything from coop construction( with detailed building plans) to chicken types and temperaments, to other website addresses for more detailed information. Excellent for your first book on chicken keeping. Oh, yes, there will be more you'll want. The one with all the chicken types, their pictures, temperament, health; and everything about all the breeds was my favorite second book. Start with this one. It's great.

Good book for basics. If you are new to chickens...this is a good starter book.

A good guide for beginners without getting too in depth. Covers all the basics with some anecdotes from the author.

Love this book, simple and very in depth at the same time. Would've hoped for feed recipes would be my only request.

Very informative
