Format:Hardcover
I thoroughly recommend this book. There is a wealth of information crammed into its modest size, making it a must-have for chicken keepers; beginners and old-hands alike.
It enters into adequate detail for most keepers' day-to-day needs regarding housing, health etc., but (hence the 4/5 rating), you may wish to buy some more specialised books on the above to find more in-depth information.
The breed section is excellent, giving far more detail (and photos) than any other book I've read. The info included is relevant and up-to-date, which is great if you've not got the time to trawl through specialist breed books.
This book is a visual treat, having a simple but effective layout, and of course being packed full of high quality, captioned photos of every breed featured. There are a number of mistakes in the allocation of the captions, but we can forgive them for that, considering the amount of photos to be captioned!
Overall, a great read at a great price!

Encyclopedia of chickens
I have to say I was disappointed in this book. It is ok. I wanted something that had more on the care of chickens & this didn't seem to cover very much?

A concise, informative book
A great book for beginners, it gives a rough guide of the most common chicken breeds, what they look like and what eggs they lay, but it's not a coffee-table book. Read more

A font of knowledge!
Got the book before the hens and found it to be a great help in getting the correct equipment from the start. Often to refer to it when new things occur.
