Finally backyard farmers who want to keep a few hens for eggs
have a bible 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 are interested in
raising chickens, or simply want the best knowledge about how to
cook them. With this in mind, farmer and animal expert Jennifer
Megyesi discusses all the basic details of raising the
birds--general biology, health, food, choosing breeds, and so
on--and she cuts through the smoke to identify what terms like
"organic," "free-range," and so on really mean for poultry farmers
and consumers.
No chicken book would be complete without information on how to
show chickens for prizes, and this is no different, but "The Joy of
Keeping Chickens" also stresses the importance of
self-sustainability and organic living, and the satisfaction of
keeping heirloom breeds. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive
nature of this readable, informative guide, and Megyesi's
enthusiasm about keeping chickens. Coupled with Geoff Hansen's
gorgeous full-color photographs, this text makes for an instant
classic in the category.
