4.0 out of 5 stars Practical ideas., 28 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Practical help to construct housing for rabbits, ducks and chickens. Adequate illustrations throughout. The basic designs lend themselves to tailoring to your needs. Carpentry skills are kept to a minimum. A good book for the beginner on a budget. Could do with a little more detail and ideas to change layout/ size to suit the different breeds of bird.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect gift for your handyperson, 14 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This book was given originally by Santa Claus to my handyperson and as a result I have a well built spacious hen house that is simplicity itself to maintain. the author gives detailed drawings and instructions for several house designs from the smallest to his 'poultry palace'. it is written in a quirky original style by someone obviously experienced with both housing and the birds themselves. I am buying a second copy for another handyperson

4.0 out of 5 stars A Cheap and Sensible Book, 17 Sep 2008
By F. West (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Any true DIY enthusiast should be able to read diagrams and be familiar with both Imperial and Metric measures. If in doubt about measurements, just pull out a tape rule and learn. I find this a very good book that does exactly what it sets out to do - show you how to build simple poultry houses with the minimum of fuss.
It would have been handy to have the total lengths of wood required for each coop stated, but unless you intend to build every one in the book, adding up the bits isn't too big a job. B&Q have packs of wood with the dimensions in both Metric and Imperial, but Wickes are much cheaper, and timber yards cheapest and most likely to have the exact sizes you want.
