Small-Scale Poultry Keeping: A Guide to Free-range Poultry Production

Served its purpose.

Very helpful. Learned a lot about their psychology and communication. Technical research treatises haven't yet found out about it yet.Feeding them earns you their loyalty. Even watching them disregard the ruling rooster is funny!

An inexpensive guide for the beginner, though not as easy a read as I would have expected for a beginner

The information would be really good if it were directed at an American audience. Breed, food sources are problems since this is an English publication!

For me, this is a very useful book and it covers a multitude of subjects pertaining to raising chickens. It isn't the "last answer" you'll find a need for but it is a very good 'starter' book for 'newbies' before they bring the first baby chick home. I'd bent lent a copy and found it good enough to order my own copy so I could refer to it as needed.
