This book is easy to read with lots of excellent, down-to-earth suggestions for any chicken raiser, whether you've got a couple of hens in the backyard for eggs or a whole flock for show and food. A nice addition to the new edition is information about chicken temperment. Damerow definatly saw that her audience now included more first-time chicken keepers and writes with them in mind in these sections.
Care, feeding, facilities. 2 copies of this plus one of the old version.
