Welcome back.

I have the softcover version of that book. My husband picked it up at the local TSC store. I love it. While I was waiting for chicks this past spring, I read it cover to cover in just a couple of days. And we refer to it often now.

Great book! What's the guy doing in the butchering pic, is he snapping the roos neck??

This is the first chicken book I picked up - it is in my little local library. I was encouraged by the chicken and pig photographs thinking on how cool it is for mixed species to live together, but I have since read many posts here about pigs snatching up and eating chickens... Since I don't even eat chicken, I wouldn't want my pig to either! (assuming I had a pig, minor technicality)

Thanks

and yes it's an awesome book i am so glad i have it now it's one of my favorites i just love it

and yes i had my doubts about the pig thing to..lol if i do ever get a pig it most likely wont be living in the coop..lol

TaLani: yup he his..... most people just chop the heads off but some do just snap the neck first.
