CharLeila Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Can anyone recommend a good chicken Keeping book. There seem to be quite a few but which one should I choose? I think it would be useful to have one which would help me to recognise illnesses and one that would be in plain english as I'm still quite new to chicken keeping. Thanks in advance Edited January 11, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Have a look **here** The one by Johannes and William is ideal for a beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 This book is good. I have a few by Dave Scrivener and they are always easy to understand and have good advice in http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poultry-Breeds-Management-Introductory-Guide/dp/1861269943/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263215679&sr=8-5 Also the book 'Avoid the Vet' which is a Practical Poultry magazine book is very good, its really just a copy of lots of their magazine articles so doesnt really read as a book but is very useful for recognising illnesses/pests etc...

CharLeila Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thank you both for your recommendations. I'v opted for Keeping Pet Chickens. Got it for £4.47 off amazon. Bargain. Cheers, so glad to have people like you on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
