Slightly antiquated, but still relevant Nov 11, 2008 Great as a reference, but no practical guide, if I had not grown up raising chickens I may not have been able to apply some of the principles. But... How hard is it to keep chickens, really? If you stick to a small flock you're probably okay.
A Must Have Book Oct 06, 2008 If you are a poultry lover; this book is a must. Invaluable information and pictures.

Wished for more. Jul 09, 2008 This is a good, informative book, like all of the Storey's guides. (We have many of them.) I just had hoped that this book would focus less on chickens, since there is a whole book on them, and more on the other fowl, like guineas, etc. that don't have an entire book of Storey's info. out there. Wish I had ordered a different book, since I already had the chicken one.

Underated book, has wonderful & complete information May 14, 2008 Personally, I like this book better than Storey's Raising Chickens. It has just as much information on raising baby chicks as the Raising Chickens guide. Leonard Mercia covers raising all poultry quite well in this guide. Good for any novice of poultry.
In 352 pages, Mr. Mercia covers chickens, turkeys, ducks and guineas all quite throughly. Plus, he writes in a straight and concise manner without being textbooky and boring. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone no matter what poultry they were raising. He covers poultry for profit and butchering how-to, briefly as well.
The only drawbacks I can see with this book is it's in black and white, with only line drawings. Also, only a few breeds of poultry are covered, so I'd pair this with the "Storey's Poultry Illustrated Poultry book" by Carol Ekarius if you haven't picked out your poultry breed yet.

More than enough Dec 18, 2007 More than enough information for the backyard poultry producer. the information included in the book is more for the medium-sized poultry farmer. I did enjoy it as it had a myriad of information I could use for my mixed flock of fowl.
