Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | In Success With Baby Chicks, I cover everything you need to know about raising chicks through the brooding period (starting with day-old chicks and ending when they no longer need extra heat), with an emphasis on clear, upbeat, practical advice. The book includes many "Lost Secrets of the Poultry Masters": pieces of advice that were once widely publicized but have been largely forgotten. No aspect of chicken keeping is as crucial as the brooding period. You can't be successful with chickens unless you raise happy, healthy baby chicks. Everyone knows this is true, but no one else gives it the attention it deserves! You won't get this information anywhere else. I devote entire chapters to subjects that are normally dismissed in a paragraph or two, such as litter or waterers. Overhead infrared lamp brooding has a chapter to itself. Cold-weather brooding is discussed in detail. I do it because these things are important. Skimping on detail, which is what most books do, leaves the reader in the dark, and the chicks suffer. | | | |

Everything you need to know. Jan 06, 2009
This book has everything you need to know about raising chicks. We are very pleased with it. We kept chickens, but many years ago, and really needed refreshing. We raised 25 laying hens with no problems and no losses and now enjoying plenty of fresh eggs.

Best of the bunch! Nov 24, 2008
Of all the books we read before attempting to raise our first batch of chicks--and we read a lot of them--this one was by far the most helpful. Whether you're raising chicks for pleasure or for profit, this is the book to get! The title says it all!

Start your chicks with confidence! Nov 17, 2008
Great book! Step by step information for welcoming your chicks "home". This book helped me feel confident even though I did not have any "chicken" experience. Explained different stages. Helped me figure out what I needed. Definitely a must have.

This book led to success Nov 17, 2008
I highly recommend this book. With no experience at all, I read this book and then raised two batches of chicks with no losses at all! This book tells you everything you need to know.
 My chick-raising bible Nov 16, 2008
This is the book I pull off the shelf every year when I get my chicks in the mail. The result? Not a single chick lost in brooding. Full of tested, practical advice.
