Chicken Books

Overview:

This book, the latest innovative Haynes Manual, will provide a complete and easy-to-understand reference for the growing band of people wishing to keep their own chickens for both food and pleasure. Pitched at the novice but also containing plenty to interest the experienced chicken-keeper, the book will contain no-nonsense advice, tips, facts and step-by step sequences, as well as plenty of relevant photographs and diagrams. As more people keep chickens nowadays than at any time since the Second World War, this book is a timely addition to the Haynes range.

Our Review:

The ‘Chicken Manual’ has excellent descriptions and a clear layout making information easy to visualise and extract. We would recommend this book to the beginner chicken keeper and for the more experienced. Section 5 on health problems was brilliant, allowing many common problems to be diagnosed and solved at home.

Our Review:

We love the ‘For Dummies’ range and this is another comprehensive book. It is clearly laid out and easy to access.  The book is full of great tips, and clear instructions, while being divided into clear separate sections. We would recommend this book to the beginner to novice chicken keeper.

Overview

In the last few years, poultry-keeping has enjoyed massive growth, with heavy TV coverage featuring chefs such as Jamie Oliver. It is another symptom of our weariness of mass-produced, tasteless supermarket food - the appeal of being able to nip into the back garden to get fresh eggs for breakfast, knowing that the hens have been well kept, fed and loved.  This highly practical book is aimed at beginners to the hobby and will explain everything you need to know to get started keeping chickens, from how to choose, house, feed and handle them to how many eggs they will lay, their affect on the local ecosystem and protection from foxes.

Our Review:

This is a very good book for anyone who needs to learn the basic care of chickens. We found the book easy to read and understand while covering all the basic such as which breed to buy, food, health, and hen house.

We would recommend this book to the beginner chicken keeper.
