Average Customer Ratings:

Your backyard can be the source of the best eggs and meat you've ever tasted. The answer is chickens--endearing birds that require but a modest outlay of time, space and food.

As they learned to raise chickens, Gail and Rick Luttmann came to realize the need for a comprehensive but clear and nontechnical guide. Their book covers all the basics in a light and entertaining sytle, from housing and feeding through incubating, bringing up chicks, butchering, and raising chickens for show.

Througout the book, the Luttmanns express their wonder at the personalities of chickens--the role of brash protector played by roosters, and the instinctive motherliness of the hens. Given some freedom and attention, these birds can become much more than the egg-and-meat machines of commercial hatcheries and broiler factories. Chickens provide backyard farmers with enjoyable pastime, as well as a supply of good food.

Quick Read of Book -
Chickens in your backyard is a good over all starter book. It would have been a little better if it specified dimensions for coup and nesting areas.

easy read and informative -

"Chickens in your Backyard" -
Chickens In Your Backyard: A Beginner's Guide
This summer I decided to adopt a few chickens to keep for eggs. A city girl in reality but a farm girl in my heart, this brought a few challenges. What to do and where to buy. I found where to buy but now what to do? I purchased Chickens In Your Backyard: A Beginner's Guide. It arrived in a timely manner and I began to read. Well it worked. I now have a small flock of 6 beauties, no eggs yet but this book told me why. When I have any problems, all small, I refer to this book for the answers.
I am patiently waiting my first fresh eggs, and with the help of this book they will be fresh and delicious.

practical -
Good, practical information on a number of subjects related to raising chickens and problems one might encounter.

A great beginner's Chicken Book -
This little paper back book is full of useful information. We checked it out from the libary so many times it started to fall apart. I figured if we are reading & needing it that much, it's time to buy the thing! It gives you information on raising chickens, culling, & housing. It is easy to read and understand. This book is a must read for any chicken beginner.
