review 1: I read this book for information on how this city/suburb girl can raise chickens now that she is in the country (and has thirteen chickens now). It was definitely informative and the beautiful photos and the narratives throughout the book made it an enjoyable read as well. Made me excited that we had made the choice to raise chickens and it was good to read now that we have them (about 7 weeks old), as I have a framework for understanding what I read.
review 2: Due to my spouse's illness, I spent my New Year's Eve reading this book and playing Farmville on my facebook account (don't judge, it's the closest I can get to a real farm for a few more months). The gorgeous photography in this book made me want to love it. Alas, I did not. The information was a li... morettle to glib and too shallow for my needs. I feel that is pushed too deeply for the casual reader, focusing briefly on technicalities rather than why one should raise chickens, yet it did not push deep enough for a serious want-to-be farmer such as myself. The subtitle hails this book as an "Ultimate Guide." After reading "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens," I found this to be a serious exaggeration. less
