well presented and consise guide when just starting out - By: chikkybelle, 28 Oct 2008 
This is a very usefull book for those just thinking of or beginning to keep pet chickens, it gives a short guide to the most popular breeds, good housing advice, & also pointers on keeping your flock happy & healthy. The only downfall I think is that it falls short on advice on sexing your chicks, I would have found that really usefull as my hens hatched 5 this summer. However, I recommend this book to all backyard flock keepers!
Great for a starter - By: TPFringe, 17 Jul 2008 This is a lovely little book full of nice colour pictures. If you are completely brand new to chicken keeping this book is a good starter for you - it was to me! You'll soon find though that you'll be looking for one with a bit more detail & specific information.
Common sense - By: J. White, 17 May 2008 
I bought this book because of everyone else comments, saying how good it was. But I don't feel like its told me anything I don't know. Of course you need to use dust mite powder or to check for fleas, these are very simple things. But there's no information on what to do if your hen's looking ill or any real health advice. Very disappointing.
Good book for those considering to keep pet Chucks - By: D. Redfern, 14 May 2008 I got this book before getting my chickens & it gave me a high level overview of what would be required. I would recommend this book to any one considering getting pet chickens but once you have your chucks you will probably be best getting a more detailed book to help with those niggly intial queries.
