Raising Backyard chickens
Wow Who knew that chickens were trademarked brand named? This book has a lot of interesting information about everything chicken related and gives some sound advice. Even though a thorough description of the character of some of the popular breeds was given, I think a picture or two of the breeds mentioned would have helped, but maybe I’m being picky because all in all this book would help anyone who was thinking of raising chickens from start to finish A good practical guide book I would definitely recommend

The cover of this book caught my attention right away. I love the colours and the graphic that were used. I have always wanted backyard chickens so that drew me in next.
The author did a wonderful job of providing all kinds of information to educate those like me that are interested in having chickens. I feel though that those that already have chickens would benefit greatly from what the author has shared. I don't think any subject was left out. Its a good practical guide that I would recommend.
I only gave it 4 stars though because of the lack of pictures or diagrams, or even some drawings, that would have fit in so nicely along with the information provided inside. It does not make sense why this part of a guide was left out.
Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Fabulous book for people thinking about having chickens in thier yard/ garden, of which i have for a long time now.
Not only do we have a plentiful amount of helpful huints and tips for starting up, but also pitfalls and things to avoid.
There is also a helpful section on the different types of chicken and which one would suit you the best, depending on what you are looking for and wanting to achieve.
Myself i want to keep chickens because i want fresh eggs, so Chapter 4 was very helpful to me.
The author also explains thier background and why her information is relatable, because she has done all this herslef already and essentially learning from her mistakes and benefiting from her experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would wholly recommend this for anyone who is thinking about keeping chickens.
