Charming, Easy and Helpful,
By John Harrison "Johnhson" (Crewe, Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Right Way to Keep Chickens (Paperback)
This is a lovely book, it's written by a home chicken keeper for other prospective home chicken keepers. It's very easy and absolutely charming yet there's a lot of useful information. She's not afraid to tell you the downside as well as the up.
If you want photographs and puff, it's not for you. If you are serious, then go for it.

A charming introduction to keeping chickens,

This review is from: The Right Way to Keep Chickens (Paperback)
Although I kept chickens many years ago I found this book a mine of useful information. It is charmingly written, very easy to follow, I read it at one sitting. It covers all aspects (I found the cooking and storage sections a pleasant suprise) and although some things could have been covered in slightly more detail, this information is easily found in other sources.
