We will be adding laying hens to our little farm within a few months, so this book would be a big help. Thanks for offering it!
Would love to have information from a reliable source before obtaining laying hens for my family's personal egg consumption.
We are looking at getting 3 little chicks... one for each of my kids.... so this book could be helpful!
We plan on adding laying hens to our small farm in the spring. This would be a great help! - Leah McDermott

My students are reading Flipped & are wanting a chicken keeping book for our classroom library. This would be perfect:)
I can't decide if I want chickens, or beehives. Maybe both? This book might just help me decide.

My family would love this book~especially my 6 year old!
Hi! I love me some chicken keeping books! :) Thanks!
Funny, we can have chickens in San Diego, but not goats? Probably because San Diegan Chickens lay fried eggs...
My son and I are building a coop...now we just need the chickens (and a good how to book!)...Sandy Wilson
I am dreaming of the day that I can have chickens in my backyard...soon, very soon it will happen. Stacey Lindsay
For those considering chickens, Bantam chickens eat less.
But if you are looking for meat or eggs, it takes a couple-three Bantams to make up a regular sized chicken.
Don't ask me how I know.
Crunchy, please do *not* add me to the list; I have a chicken book. Save that good looking book for someone starting out!
There's never enough chicken books!

Count me in! I've just starting thinking about getting chickens and I'd like to get some more information about how it's done.

Always been interested in adding a chicken coop to my backyard garden. I'm also a book worm! Hope I win! - Erica Stokes @ Jujube Botanicals

PS: I hope veggie chips are healthy for chickens - they sure liked them ^_^
Darn, I'm Canadian. :-(
