Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens: 3rd Edition

I bought this book when I was talking about getting chickens.  Didn't know a thing about them.  I read and read this book.  Went to a chicken auction a few months later and bought my first 4 girls.  I am proud of what I picked.  Silver Laced Wyandottes, big, healthy, friendly, dependable.  I love them.  This book is a must have especially for beginners.  Im using it now to hatch my own eggs.

Of the dozen or so books i have purchased on chickens, this is the only one I go back to over and over again! Very informational with lots of great references for further information as needed. Good for beginners or those more experienced.

This book is a must for every poultry person.

This is one of the best books, because it has a lot more information that the beginner books.

I love this book! It has tons of details. I made a chicken saddle using the instructions in the book, and it worked great! It is easy to understand but also packed with information! I do wish it had breed profiles though. All in all, a must have!

It is a nice hardback book.I got it from the library and it looks like new.

Just purchased this book after reading other reviews on BYC and i love it! it has so much information and lots of things that i never knew about chickens. its a must have!!

Simply put, this is the best all around book on chickens available. I have given it as gifts to new poultrykeepers, and have greatly reduced the number of questions I have fielded as a result.

Don't hesitate and simply buy it.

i haven't finished the book yet, but i already know that it's great! it is very helpful, with lots of information on all sorts of great things. i have only borrowed it from the liebrary, but i definitly would like to own it! it also has good pictures. i definitly recommend it!
