I checked this out from a local library looking for breed info and found a gem for all KINDS of chicken info! Awesome little book, with all kinds of chicken care ideas, coop info, etc. Great for reference too. Am now going to buy a copy!

I thought this would have been mostly about the breeds with pictures and care of each breed. Turns out the first half of the book is filled with tons of information from housing to food. Lots of information summed up and not dragged out over several chapters. Straight and to the point. Well written and informative. The one thing I will note is in the title it says "Mini" Encyclopedia. I assuemed it meant the info inside but the actual book is Mini. Just thought that would be note worthy in case others thought they were getting a larger picture quality book. This is not the case, Measures 5 Inches maybe.

I really like this book. It is easy to read and has lots of useful information for a beginner like myself. It was just what I was looking for.

This book was very helpful. I wish it had pictures of more breeds, but there are many included and the pictures are good. The information contained in the book is very helpful to me as I am a novice with chickens. I wanted a small set of backyard chickens and I didn't know where to begin. I wanted a resource guide to help me decide what and how to decide on what breeds, and how to start with them once they got here. I found all the information I really needed in this book. I got other books in case this one didn't have exactly what I needed, but it was perfect for my use. I now have 3 very wonderful 6 week old chickens.
