Chickens: Tending a Small-Scale Flock for Pleasure and Profit - by Sue Weaver

Chickens covers all the essentials needed in a straight forward, easy-to-read style. This is a great first book for those interested in breeding, having a backyard flock, or a small hobby farm flock, or even a useful household pet. It is so well organized and illustrated that even those with more experience will find it valuable as a quick guide. Each major part is summarized on a tan page with an eye-catching title. Put together on glossy, flexible and thick paper stock, Chickens will easily survive repeated reading or referencing.

Chickens enables the reader to:
• Select and purchase the right breed
• Construct predator-proof fencing and housing
• Keep poultry healthy with a nutritious diet
• Raise healthy chicks – with or without a hen
• Spot symptoms of common poultry diseases
• Market and sell farm-fresh eggs
• Explore chicken resources and Web sites in Resources

Also included in Chickens are a handy glossary and an index. The personal Chicken Stories at the end of the book are heart-warming tributes from those who share memories of a very special chicken who had become a household pet.
