Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens, 4th Edition

This book is everything you need to know about raising chickens and has some humor sprinkled in. Great value for the money. Very informative. Goes from beginner to advanced and from back yard to commercial. Has something for everyone.

Packed full of information for the chicken enthusiasts

Very easy to read and follow. Covers a wide variety of Chicken topics and problems with different methods and resources to use. I call it my "chicken bible." There is so much information in this book from what to expect with different illnesses to different methods for culling. Very informational.

Great book for first time chicken keepers. Glad we bought it before we got our chicks. Helped us to make sure we were prepared.

Storey's guides to fowl are well worth the investment if your planning to keep birds and their Chicken guide is no exception. Sooner or later your going need a guide whether its basic good house keeping and improving care, chicks or when one gets ill. A got to book is needed and Raising Chickens is an excellent guide. I have acquired several guides to raising chicken over the years, but this is the one I find most comprehensive. There will always be regional difference between birds available, managing climate and laws, but this will see you through the most of it.

This is a great book if you are interested in raising chickens. This book is definitely a true “how to” book and not just a book spitting out facts. I love how the book has plenty of visuals and has plenty of color. It’s a fun and informative book to read. This book definitely well prepares you for chickens. I hope this review helps :)

I had one of the first editions of this book years ago when it was first published. I loved it then for raising chickens, so when I heard that it had been updated and released again I had to get it. You can't always trust internet sources for sound advice on raising any plant or animal, a good, solid reference book is always a better choice. This one is so thorough. It's not a book you just sit down and read (for most people). Great advice, easy to understand.

This is a very inexpensive book with a lot of sound information.

I just became a first-time chicken owner with the acquisition of 4 little chicks, ranging from 3-6 days old, and this book has been immensely helpful and comprehensive for alleviating any anxiety about their care. Three weeks in, I’ve already consulted it numerous times, as the chicks grow and develop. It’s easy to read and follow, with an excellent contents page and index for seeking specific information. I’m sure it will become a well-thumbed Bible over years to come!

Bought for a present for a family member so not sure about the content (all the reviews online said this this the author to choose though) but very impressed with the quality, even though it was listed as used the book doesn’t even look like it’s been opened!

Bought based on reviews, the book isn't well written, several repetitive sections and not very detailed. I was ready to buy the entire series, I won't now.

It explains things in a way that gives the reader easy steps to follow to raise chickens. Very informative.

Muchos buenos consejos para criar pollos. Pero no describe ni caracteriza muchas razas.
