Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens: 3rd Edition Reviews

Can't live without this book

Posted 1/16/12

Pros: Packed with beginner information and a good reference guide

Cons: haven't found any cons

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.

Must have!

Pros: Informative and great reference book

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.

If you only buy one chicken book this is the one!

Pros: Detailed, wide range of topics, cool projects...

Cons: no breed profiles

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!

Good book for begginer

Pros: Complete, Accurate, Informative, Comprehensive

Cons: None

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.

this is a great book!!!!!
