Editorial Reviews

With 12 separate chapters, this DVD is an essential tool for a first-time chicken keeper who needs to learn all the basics of keeping a healthy flock. As the only DVD available that explains and shows organic methods and natural remedies, this disc stresses animal husbandry through cleanliness and common sense, DVD chapters offer a visual simple instruction for brooder preparation, unpacking mail-order chicks, treating chick health problems, moving birds into a hen yard, hen house options, flock management, how to spot common diseases and parasites and basic butchering methods. There are also detailed, step-by-step demonstrations of grooming chickens for showing. This updated DVD is the only video available that shows both organic and conventional treatments for every common chicken health concern.

2.0 out of 5 stars Showing Chickens, May 22, 2008

If you, like I, are looking for a detailed instruction for caring for poultry, and don't care very much about the rarefied world of show chickens, this is not the book for you. It is spare on the basics that it proports to teach and seems to go on endlessly about the group itself that produced this film.

A beginner's Guide to Raising and Showing Chickens is very informative DVD. I highly recommend it for beginners or for the expierenced. It goes into detail about showing, showmanship, what birds are good to start out with, what birds you should choose for show and so much more. Even the butchering part is very helpful and educational. I love watching this DVD because every time I watch it seems I learn something new, I can't wait for the second edition! Great job!
