A standard work often provided in starter kits and it covers the basics in a simple easy to read fashion. Katie Thear is an experienced keeper and she includes some useful tips she's picked up from her own experiences. However I find the subject poorly researched and the information rather sketchy in places and lacking in consistency. It's rather like she has written it just from her own knowledge and experiences only. Some areas she dwells on in uneccessary detail for beginners needs while others which need a more detailed explaination are just skimmed over. There's also some uneccessary padding with brief chapters on showing and breeding which aren't of much interest to beginners and don't contain enough detail to enable anyone to get ... Read More:

The Smallholder's Manualby: Katie Thear November 25, 2002 |

This is a much more practical and detailed book than anything else currently available on the subject. It's up to date and based on real experience which is more than one can say for some of the trendy television-linked books. If you're a smallholder, intending or existing, this is the book you need.

The main reason for buying this book was the title, the reviews and the helpful votes. All very encouraging. My desire was to make my own yoghurt. First of all let me point out that I am a great lover of yoghurt so I feel I am highly qualified to be reviewing this book. I'm always a bit dubious when it comes to getting stuff from books - I prefer the `hands-on' method of learning by someone showing me what to do first, then I practice with them watching over me, giving me guidance when needed. Not so with this book. Try this for the first time and you'll be coming over and over again for more. When it boils down to it, making yoghurt is a simple process really and with a little patience and testing you'll soon get impressive results. My first real ... Read More:

This is an excellent book and the latest edition has colour photographs that make it even better than the earlier versions. It covers all the varieties of Coturnix quail, with useful advice on housing, managing and breeding. There's no other book on the subject to equal it and I know, I've read them all. Highly recommended!

Anyone who keeps ducks, or fancies keeping ducks in the future, will find this book extremely useful.
I have bought some of Katie Thear's other books, and this is very much in the same mould - a friendly, knowledgeable person explaining things in an easy to understand, non-patronising way. She covers virtually every aspect the casual duck owner could ever want - what to feed them, where to keep them, what various ailments are and what you can do etc etc. It also touches on details that one might need if they were wanting to take it more seriously, for example, egg incubation. It doesn't go into loads and loads of detail on things like this, but it was enough for me to successfully get into egg incubating, and since keeping ducks ... Read More: >>More Details |

For a complete starter to raising livestock this book is easy to read and understandable. A little outdated with regards to the pictures but the information is a great starting point. Following on from this book we have taken a pig husbandary course which brings it all together.

Starting with Geese (Starting with ...)by: Katie Thear May 15, 2003 |

It is fair to say that it's difficult to manage Geese and this book offers a good guide for those hoping to do so.
The complex formations which the Geese can take are all covered here, along with a good grasp of the various personalities and behaviour patterns observed within the species. Of particular note is the section on the Breeding, which Geese do very well, though some may find the contents of the Rearing chapter a little more difficult to come to terms with. Overall, a good introductory text. >>More Details |
