Damerow offers a good conventional approach. Ussery eschews chemicals, and gets the chickens working in his small holding.

Although not a book on health etc. i do think its a great book to have, especially if you keep chickens as pets

As a small landowner/homesteader, which books would you like to find in your local library? What books have you found to be the most helpful? I have a public library to update and am always looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Free Range Survival Chickens by Florida Bullfrog. He really goes into what chickens can be and takes a radically different approach to them than I've seen anywhere else. Chickens haven't always been as radically dependent on people as they are today and they needn't be if you're working with the right breeds and provide a few basics like water and discourage predators.

The Independent Farmstead by Shawn and Beth Dougherty. This one isn't really a book about chickens, but it includes a chapter on them. They have a good sense of humor and recognize that life isn't perfect.
