2.0 out of 5 stars Not that much wiser 8 Dec 2012

I am about to buy a property with a large garden and would like some chickens, but this short read didn't give a great insight on whether I should have all hens or a cockerel and hens. I would be better going to my local pet shop for advice. Lots of useful websites though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful little book but quite basic info 22 Mar 2012

This book gives an overview of keeping chickens with some useful information but it is quite basic, only taking me around 20 minutes to read. Don't expect to be an expert on chicken keeping after reading it but it gives a good introduction as the title would suggest.
