Where Was This Book Last Year? August 7, 2009

I started raising chickens last year. Before that I read a lot of chicken books and got some necessary basic information. Many of the books were much too technical for my level and/or for what I wanted to know.
The wonderful thing about this book is the way it's written. Every subject area starts off and ends with simple, thorough explanations for the reader. After reading a page or two, I invariably realize that I fully understand what normally would have been confusing and complicated.
I keep it by my recliner, open it anywhere, read the page and learn something new every time. I seriously doubt that I will ever need to buy another book about chickens.

I bought a number of books on chickens two years ago when I was first entertaining the idea of keeping hens. I can toss them all out now that I have this book. I sure wish it was out when I started this project!
Everything you really need to know to raise chickens is in this book. The authors give clear and reasonable recommendations on vaccinations, worming, feeding... just about everything you can think of.
The book is easy to use and clearly organized. It's also engagingly written. I have more confidence in my chicken-keeping after reading this book.
A must have book August 2, 2009

This book is the ultimate in chicken books and I have a bunch of them! If I had to pick out one chicken book to give as a gift or to recommend to a new chicken person it would be a copy of this one. And if for some reason the book doesn't have the answer to the question you have then the people on the website listed on the cover will have it and they are very helpful! The book is easy to read and very easy to understand. Get a copy today! Mine didn't come from Amazon but it is so good that I want to give it 5 stars and let everyone know about it! And I very rarely review anything. This deserves my review! Signed the Mrs of the account holder and yes, I am a chicken addict! Now go buy a copy of this book and get yourself some pets that will make you breakfast! :)
couldn't have found a better book to help a novice like me!! August 31, 2009

I just moved to a rural property near my daughter and, like her, wanted to get some chickens. I found "Raising chickens for dummies" here at amazon and ordered it. It was quite a deal! Almost 400 pages of everything you need to know to buy chickens (or chicks), set up your coop, keep them healthy and happy, protect them from predators, collecting eggs, handling mating and newborn chicks, and, (gulp), even butchering. It is easy to read, set up in a logical, concise manner, and has great illustrations. Anyone could set up a chicken coop and raise chickens after reading this book.
I can't say enough about this book! One of the best things to come out of it was their reference to their website: [...], a VERY helpful website with thousands of members around the world where you can get info and support in your new endeavour.
Enjoy!
My chickens thank you!!! November 4, 2009

I got Raising Chickens for Dummies yesterday. I haven't put it down yet! Thousands of my questions are answered! Questions I didn't know I had are answered! I feel a million times more competent and confident as a chicken keeper already.
Seriously, I can't say enough good things about it!
I'm off to sit by my new coop and read and read and read!
