Better than expected

Great little book - in good condition - as advertised. Very impressed with this Seller and his attention to detail, letting me know status of shipping, etc.

Most Helpful

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!

A reader

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.

This book is the best book I have seen on raising poultry!

It covers a range of topics from "Should I Raise Poultry?" to "Meat Bird Production". It has information on choosing the best chicks, poultry housing and equipment, poultry house plans, brooding and rearing young stock, flock health and alot lots more. Great book to have on hand.
