Average Rating:
 Rating: - A charming introduction to keeping chickensAlthough I kept chickens many years ago I found this book a mine of useful information. It is charmingly written, very easy to follow, I read it at one sitting. It covers all aspects (I found the cooking and storage sections a pleasant suprise) and although some things could have been covered in slightly more detail, this information is easily found in other sources. Rating: - Excellent book - highly recommendedIf you are thinking about keeping chickens everything that you need to know is in this book. Absolutely excellent!! |
