Customer Reviews
A beautiful book about our chicken cousins - Rated 'Chickens At Home' is an amazing book, crammed full of insights about chickens and their homes. I live next door to a family of chickens and in the past have been intimidated by their 'strange' chicken ways. They are, after all, so different from us. They have wings, we do not. They have beaks, we do not. The can't talk English, which we find so easy to do in England. 'Chickens at Home' helped me to understand that being different isn't always a bad thing. We should embrace our differences! This book has helped me love chickens, and wiped away all my unease concerning these wonderful feathered people. If only every racist and biggot were to read this great book, we would live in a happier country. Some useful advice, generally inhumane, financially driven - Rated Had I wished for advice on keeping chickens in confined spaces, I should I gone direct to a local battery farm to ask for their advice. All four systems for keeping hens were confined, one with no access to grass or exercise, one indoors with electric lighting. The second system described as 'most satisfactory', being a 1oft x4ft enclosed wooden fold system that was moved around the lawn, struck me as being satisfactory for one person only, that being the owner. The author suggests 8-10 chickens could be housed in such a way. The methods for 'dispatching' or 'disposing' of non-productive birds (bashing over head, shooting or neck-breaking)was unbelievable, whilst the description of the chemicals that should be liberally applied to, on, or around the chickens on a regular basis, made generally unsavory reading. Definitely not the book for someone hoping to keep a few chickens in a humane, let alone, organic manner. Good Book for Beginners - Rated This is a well written, carefully thought out book. Easy to find the bits you want, or to read cover to cover. There is a lot of information in here making this excellent value. The best chicken book we have found. - Rated The book covers all aspects of Chicken keeping and is very comprehensive. It includes the best list of diseases and treatments that we have found. Very good for a beginner.
