Finally, a bible for backyard farmers that's attractive enough to leave out on the coffee table and inexpensive enough to purchase on a whim. This comprehensive guide, written in charming prose from the perspective of an organic farmer, will appeal to readers who want to learn more about chickens. With a growing interest in self-sustainability and organic living, readers will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this readable, informative guide. Jennifer Megyesi's engaging voice, and her enthusiasm about keeping chickens, combines with Geoff Hansen's gorgeous photographs, make for an instant classic. -- Adapted from jacket.
