Serious poultry farmers and backyard bird raisers have relied on this best-selling reference for more than 20 years. The fourth edition of Gail Damerow’s comprehensive handbook is now completely revised and redesigned, making it more accessible and informative than ever. You’ll get the most up-to-date details on shelter, food, health care, eggs, chicks, and meat, and recent research into chicken behavior and communication makes the sections on flock management truly authoritative. New color photos and illustrations provide more specificity and information about chicken breeds, anatomy, and health. Review: Great quality - 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! Review: Fantasist - This book along with The Chicken Health Book , by the same author, is my absolute go to if I have any worries about my newly acquired Ex Battery hens, both books give excellent advice on DIY first aid and what to do in an emergency, I'm not happy to look at the part about meat so I don't.

Fantasist
This book along with The Chicken Health Book , by the same author, is my absolute go to if I have any worries about my newly acquired Ex Battery hens, both books give excellent advice on DIY first aid and what to do in an emergency, I'm not happy to look at the part about meat so I don't.

The encyclopedia of chicken technology
This book was very helpful. I quite frankly can’t think of a topic. It didn’t cover in good detail. I am very pleased with it. I think that the big spiral on the sides which prevents pages from tearing and ripping in the margins is very useful. If you’ve got chickens, you better have this book on your shelf. All you need to do is have an answer one question and it could save you a lot of money.

Great book
This book is packed with information. Even with more chicken raising experience under my belt, I continue to return to this book for some sound chicken advice.

Excellent guide for new chick owners
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!
