SueSteve Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi, It's my birthday next month, when asked what I want I would like maybe 3 more girls and a nice colourful book of different chicken breeds. Can anyone recommend a good book with nice pictures? Thanks, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 have a look **here** Sue. Lots of chicken books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If you just want pretty pictures you should have a look at Extraordinary Chickens by Stephen Green-Armytage. It is a great photography book filled with lots of wonderful breeds. flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueSteve Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks for the replies about the books. At the moment we have 4 hybrids, do you think a pure breed would mix well, or should I stick to hybrids when buying 3 more chickens? Thanks, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treekeeper Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've got hybrids and pure mixed and they do allright together! Hybrids for constant eggs A Banty SLW 'cos she's pretty, and a cream legbar for blue eggs and a daft haircut I would have thought you would be writing your own book on chook nursing having read your epic adventures in chicken clinic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
