Once again Storey is the go to expert on animal care

The in depth look at chicken illness and treatments was very helpful.

THE PERFECT BOOK ABOUT RAISING CHICKENS

I can't imagine a better book about raising chickens. Gail Damerow covers EVERY RELEVANT SUBJECT. Her writing style is so great that I find myself reading just for the pleasure of it. Her 40+ years of experience raising chickens has acquainted her with every possible subject and issue. She has also consulted with other experts to give the reader an even wider view on many subjects. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens

Book is great, perfect condition, and is practically an encyclopedia of information about chix. It did seem like it took a long time to receive it--in excess of 3 weeks.

My First Reference

I was a beginner and this book worked well for me. This book explains everything from incubation to chicks to health management, all at a beginners level. Highly recommend this book if your working on your first brood.

Very infomative

This book has proven to be very useful. This is the first time I have ever raised chickens. The book covers a wide range of topics that I never even considered. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants detailed info. on chicken raising. It could save you a lot of trouble in the long run!
