Title: Well Worth The Price
Review: As a new backyard/pet chicken (and one gosling) keeper, I’ve found plenty of info to help me make my breed choice for baby chicks. Lots of excellent pictures. As another reviewer said it doesn’t have a whole lot of info on ducks, turkey and goose breeds but enough to be helpful to me. I was a bit hesitant to order it in the paperback format but happily it’s large, measuring 11″ x 8 1/2 wide with high quality paper.It’s a pure breed book so doesn’t have anything on “mutt” breeds like the popular Easter Egger which lays blue and/or green eggs but like any mutt, it’s probably impossible to be specific about most traits. I wondered what would be the best book for me as a beginner and this is it! I think more experienced chicken custodians would enjoy it too.

Title: Basic
Review: I enjoy reading this! It does have pictures but it has doesn’t have that many breeds in it. However I’d does give some cool information about each chicken:duck/turkey breed and how it originated. Honesty could get this information free online.

Title: Great Gift for Backyard Chicken Fans
Review: I am a Backyard Chickens fan like many of you. Good book, but I got it for my mom. She love’s chickens more than me and with her aging eyesight, she really enjoyed this book. Makes a great gift. Do recommend. (I want to get one for myself). BYC

Review: I found this book to contain too few different breeds, so a bit disappointed in that order.
