How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know

Whichever comes first for you, the chicken or the egg, this book shows you what to do next. In...
The general information of this book was better than many other beginner chicken-keeping books I've found. It still contains some misinformation on points like EE vs Ameraucana, but it's not a bad choice if you know nothing about chickens and wish to get started. Good breeding information.

Pros: Lovely pictures, Good info in there somewhere
Cons: Poorly organized.
I received this book as a Christmas gift and I have been very disappointed with it. The section on breeds focuses mainly on the history of each breed while, in most cases, leaving out info such as bird size, temperament, broodiness, hardiness, suitability as a meat bird or layer or dual purpose. For a newbie trying to pick I breed I was frustrated with this chapter!

Throughout the book I found the topics/information was very disorganized, and poorly written. It doesn't flow in any kind of logical manner, in my opinion.
