“ I got this book at the brick-and-mortar mom-and-pop bookstore, so I paid a bit more than Amazon. The book is a high-quality hardback that is a joy to look at. It's quick and easy to read, though I haven't read it from cover-to-cover, rather in sections as I needed. There are certainly a lot of similar chicken books available now. This book is redundant to several...” --popsicle
“This is a great book to have on hand as a reference guide, especially for children and 1st time chick raisers. Though a quick and easy 'read', its really the ready- reference aspect that makes this book an asset to a young library. Daily then weekly development and chick needs are broken into easy to find chapters, making it fun for kids to follow along and look ahead with their own chick's...” --RyanFunFarm
“ I got this book when it was on sale for Kindle. It's a quick read of mostly anecdotal stories of the author and her hens, with a few informational tidbits throughout. There was one story about having to take the chickens to her sister's house while they went on vacation, she had a terrible time catching one of the hens and almost had to leave her behind. I think...” --popsicle
