Not Just For Bantam Owners....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bantams (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
I thought that this was a very good introduction to keeping chickens of all sizes, and is written in nice clear terms. The book is well-illustrated, and gives a 'lowdown' on many breeds of bantam, along with very helpful advice on housing and care of your flock. I particularly liked the way the author tries to give an insight on behaviour, and how chickens 'tick'. I'm very pleased I bought this book!

Not worth it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bantams (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Frankly, I didn't think this book was worth the money. There is quite a bit of misinformation in the book, and since it was originally released in Europe, the pictures of the chickens in it are identified as they would be in Europe which is pretty meaningless to folks in America. Folks here who would be looking to purchase bantam chickens using the names in this book wouldn't be able to find them, and the book does not give the equivalent American name. On the other hand, the photography is magnificent! If you just want a book with really nice pictures of bantam chickens, this one is really great. However, the rest of the book leaves a lot to be desired.

Discouraging,
This review is from: Bantams (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
I wanted to learn more about Bantam Chickens as I was interested in keeping them as pets in my backyard. Although the writer gives quite a bit of information, the info given was very discouraging and I gave up the idea after reading the book. Months later I found a website that gave a more down-to-earth approach that inspired me to try keeping Bantams as pets. Also, as with many other books on animals, the writer seems to fall back on the many diseases a chicken could possibly contract as a way to fill pages. If you wrote a book about Humans, you could imagine how many pages could be devoted to disease, rather than more interesting aspects of Humans or their behavior. I'm sorry I bought this book.
