Will have to give a better review as I read more and learn what's in it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only book I needed *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2013* This time last year my feet took me into a farm supply store and I emerged with four newly hatched chicks and a head full of advice from the sales lady. A day or two later I bought this book and read it from cover to cover. It has been my main source of information. Today I have four tame, happy, sociable, laying, free-range hens who just survived a bitterly cold winter where I had to dig their coop out of the snow several times. They are now rejoicing in their first adult spring. We've had our challenges - a frostnipped foot, two went broody, and one grew up with a crooked back - but everyone is fine now. So I'd say this book has pointed the way to success for us. There is a lot of very specific advice, but what I got overall is a sense of how much leeway there is with raising chickens, what matters and what doesn't. It also gave me an appreciation for the character of chickens, which is essential if you're going to enjoy them. And I do. I have to admit that I'm a hopeless farmer and mine have become outdoor pets. I have actually woken up from a nap in a garden chair to find a snoozing hen in my lap. But their eggs are magnificent. I'd suggest reading the book BEFORE getting chicks, but if you don't it will still work out. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by &***; on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2007* This book is good for the beginner. However, I would strongly suggest having another reference in addition to this book. It was written in 1976, and some of the information is out of date (incubator temps and such). The strengths of this book are that it's easy to read, has a seperate chapter on roosters, and that they share thier own experiences and their own blunders. This book is a decent place to start, easy to read, and under a 150 pages. Not bad. I own "Keep Chickens" by Kilarski, "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens", and "Chickens" by Sue Weaver as well. Storey's Guide To Raising Chickens" by Gail Damerow is more complete and up to date, but it's also more time consuming to get the information. "Keep Chickens" by Kilarski and "Chickens" by Sue Weaver are more up to date versions of this book, and Sue Weavers book in my opinion is superior of the three. If I had it to do over again I would have bought Sue Weavers book for getting up to speed, and Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow for more in depth information after I read Weavers book. Trust me I've looked at a lot of chicken books, and done a lot of reading. This book is decent, and it will give some good information, and I'm not sorry I bought it. However, there are better books out there. Gail Damerow and Sue Weaver have superior products in my opinion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8233227-chickens-in-your-backyard-a-beginners-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8233227-chickens-in-your-backyard-a-beginners-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
