Pros: Informative, beautiful pictures, well written

Cons: None that I can think of

Has a little bit of everything, but mainly covers, of course, chicken gardens.  Gave me a lot of good ideas on what plants to plant and what not to plant, also describes plant uses, such as using plants for shelter, to use as food, for medicinal purposes, chicken resistant plants, plants to use as a noise barrier, etc.  Also gave great ideas on how to design your yard, landscape materials and chicken houses.  Has a little bit on breeds of chickens, diseases and parasites and chicken problems.  And as I've already said, lots of gorgeous pictures in this book as well.

Pros: Gardens of all sizes across the nation. Plant lists. Beautiful pictures

Cons: I wish there was more technical details and less story .

Amazing book that will make you look at your yard in a whole new light.
Free-Range Chicken Gardens: How to Create a Beautiful, Chicken-Friendly Yard
Description:

Many gardeners fear chickens will peck away at their landscape, and chicken lovers often shy away from gardening for the same reason. But you can keep chickens and have a beautiful garden, too! Fresh eggs aren't the only benefit — chickens can actually help your garden grow and thrive, even as your garden does the same for your chickens. In this essential handbook, award-winning garden designer Jessi Bloom covers everything a gardener needs to know, including chicken-keeping basics, simple garden plans to get you started, tips on attractive fencing options, the best plants and plants to avoid, and step-by-step instructions for getting your chicken garden up and running. For anyone who wants a fabulous garden where colorful chickens happily roam, Free-Range Chicken Gardens is the guide that will bring the dream home to roost.
