I would love to join also. I have a pretty busy schedule so hopefully I would be able to keep up. I am new at raising chickens so this could prove to be a very useful endeavor.

Sounds like fun! I'd suggest getting it from your local library. If they don't have it, request that they order it!

Nifty and Poultry Writer,

I am so glad that both of you are here. I am hoping that for each book the author might be able to be a part of the discussion or maybe do some sort of a special event with the author.

I'd love to join in! This will be lots of fun.

I'd like to recommend a book for future reading, if I may. It's called Chicken and Egg, by Janice Cole. It's a combination cookbook/chicken information/story of her chickens with gorgeous pictures and good info. It's very touching, and the recipes are delicious!

The Welsummers by Joseph Batty is a good one if you want to read about Welsummers.

I could not find How to Raise Chickens by Christine Heinrichs at my local library but I will keep looking.
My suggestions for November is either Keeping Chickens by Jeremy Hobson and Celia Lewis - which you can pick up at Lowe's for around $17 - or Chick Days by Jenna Woginrich.
