This is a nice little book, but I was disappointed to discover that it is an abbreviated format of Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds.

If you have the other book,you should be aware that this one is just excerpted text and photos from it. Both books are very nice, but you only need one! "Pocketful of Poultry" is a good "stocking stuffer" - the larger format book has a bit more information and larger photos, so would be the better choice unless you want a small book for some reason.

I bought this so that I could see what the grown-up birds will look like when I see the chickies in the feed stores. The pictures are in black-and-white! And most of them are overly dark. The blurb clearly states "color pictures" so I am more than disappointed, I am requesting a refund.

This book is chock full of beautiful photographs. It has some good solid information, too, but should not be considered a reference book. Just looking through it I am so, so tempted to get more chickens....

Wonderful little pocket book. Pictures are bight and colorful, loaded with information on several breeds including many rare breeds. Highly recommend for any chicken lover or poultry breeder.

Cute little book...it's literally a field guide of some of the most popular poultry breeds, along with nice photos and fun facts about some of the birds featured.

Excellent photos and info in this handy small sized reference book on ducks and chickens (turkeys too).

This is a beautiful picture book with some of the most beautiful chickens. It also has information about the birds.
I gave this gift to a teenager and she loved it. She says she wants to go into the chicken business!!!
I also bought a copy for myself. I have some chickens and I really enjoy them and their cute ways.
Great book!!!!!
Take care, TJ

Great little book for choosing the breed of chickens you want. beautiful colored photos, short and easy to read descriptions of each breed. pocket sized so you can carry it any where. very helpful info. on what each breed is best for,be it for egg laying or meat or showing. I would recommend this book to anyone interested it choosing the breed of chicken they want to raise.

This little book is really fun and, though strictly factual, highlights all the things I find inherently amusing about chickens. Great photographs, brief but informative text for each different chicken breed. If you, like me, are a city girl who wishes she had a pet chicken, this is a fun book!

It won't fit in a man's pocket, but its a great handbook of poultry. I have the large book by the same author, but I would stongly recommend having both books.
