Nice book with lots of photos. Unfortunately the much of the information with regard to photos did not mention the breed of birds shown. I would have liked to have more detail in the captions. Some of the specific breeds mentioned had no photo at all. I wasn't interested in the chapter on crafts.
My husband preferred this book to "The Right Way to Keep Chickens" by Virginia Shirt because it was easier to absorb and photo's are much better than drawings. He said it was a good book, I am hard to please! >>More Details |

We were thinking of keeping 2 or 3 for the pleasure it would give us and our two children but this book has put us off the idea completely...
At times confusingly written with far too many negative aspects described in detail and not enough positives. Some might say the writing is 'charming' but, as a beginner, I needed to know detail which either isn't in this book or is made confusing by the writing. >>More Details |

Any true DIY enthusiast should be able to read diagrams and be familiar with both Imperial and Metric measures. If in doubt about measurements, just pull out a tape rule and learn. I find this a very good book that does exactly what it sets out to do - show you how to build simple poultry houses with the minimum of fuss.
It would have been handy to have the total lengths of wood required for each coop stated, but unless you intend to build every one in the book, adding up the bits isn't too big a job. B&Q have packs of wood with the dimensions in both Metric and Imperial, but Wickes are much cheaper, and timber yards cheapest and most likely to have the exact sizes you want. >>More Details |

This book has been invaluable to me in helping work out what might be wrong with a sick hen.
It is worth the money for the diagnostic tables alone which, as already mentioned, look at the symptoms you may be seeing and point you towards a diagnosis. I agree that there are often no specific treatments but working out what's wrong is more than half the battle and treatment invariably involves a trip to the vet for a prescription. Vets tend to have little experience of diagnosing chickens, in fact, my vet asked me to bring the book with me if I had to visit again! >>More Details |

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!
