5.0 out of 5 stars Money Well Spent, January 20, 2008

By

This review is from: Regarding Chickens, DVD Video Guide, Incubation, Hatching, Brooding & Caring for Chickens of All Breeds. Chicken Video (DVD)

Regarding Chickens with Frederick J. Dunn is a must see DVD. After reading and purchasing several books, and watching some DVDs on the topic of raising the birds, this DVD proved to be as valuable as all the books and DVDs combined.
My first DVD, The Natural History of the Chicken, was entertaining but hardly informative. I also purchased the DVD Beginners Guide to Raising and Showing Chickens. While the latter was enjoyable and informative-- especially the section on diseases-- much of its content focused on showing birds, and it was nowhere near as exhaustive as Fred Dunn's video.
Each segment of Dunn's DVD is thoughtfully presented and explained in simple and clear detail. From incubation of eggs, to housing, raising, feeding, and bedding, so much information is given and demonstrated that you'll be amazed.
Running time is approximately 3 hours, rather long, but worth every minute. If you buy only one DVD on this topic, I encourage you to make it this one. After a month, not only do still I review it repeatedly with my family in anticipation of getting chicks in the spring, but I'm still amazed at the wealth and simplicity of the information it contains. Clearly, a lot of time was put into the making of this DVD, and beginners--I daresay, probably even some pros--will learn a lot from it. Purchasing Regarding Chickens will be money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable resource!!, July 29, 2007

This review is from: Regarding Chickens, DVD Video Guide, Incubation, Hatching, Brooding & Caring for Chickens of All Breeds. Chicken Video (DVD)

What a TERRIFIC resource "REGARDING CHICKENS" has become to me. This year is my FIRST attempt at having chickens in my life. Although there are several good resources out there, REGARDING CHICKENS offers something that NO OTHER resource offers. Fred offers step by step "how-to's" through the magic of video. To actually WATCH what he talks about rather than simply reading it was TRULY helpful to me. A picture REALLY IS worth a thousand words! Several years ago I was in a car accident that left me with a brain injury. It has caused me to have a LOT of trouble focusing on reading and retaining information. To be able to visualize educational topics about my brand new hobby is a gift for which I cannot thank Fred's Fine Fowl enough!! Not ONLY do I get to see what he is talking about - but when I want to revisit ANY topic, I can simply pop the DVD in and go directly to that particular section. I only wish I had discovered this DVD earlier! My hatch was only Semi-successful this year - and now I KNOW what mistakes I made. I have NO DOUBT that next year, with Fred's help, I will have GRAND success! It is an invaluable tool for ANYONE starting out with chickens or anyone who needs a little professional advice right in your own home! Thanks you SO MUCH for putting this together!! You have no doubt saved MANY chickens lives! My chickens thank you too! They were SO TIRED of the messy water containers and the empty feed troughs. It may sound simple, but unless someone has shown a person who is new to this hobby how to elevate feeders and waterers - it may not occur to them. Little hints & tips like this have TRULY made a difference in my enjoyment of this hobby. Additionally, the information on NPIP, Vaccines, Diatomaceous Earth, Medicated feed usage, Obtaining chicks, and candling ~ WOW!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars So many good things to say and not enough time!, January 16, 2007

There are so many fantastic things to say about Fred and this wonderful DVD and just not enough time! When I first saw this DVD I couldn't believe how much information was on it and how he went into detail on every subject, you can really tell he has a passion for his poultry! I have read tons and tons of books and information on the internet, and yes they did help some, but to actually see someone else doing it and knowing I can go back and check to make sure I'm doing it right is the best you can get. It is so much easier to learn when you see some else doing it. I learned so much on just hatching, candling and the incubation process, even though I have done it before and read so much about it, I learned stuff I never knew, and would of probaly never found out. Fred also shows his gorgeous chickens and beautiful land and amazingly built coops. I can't wait to see his next DVD and all the more to come! You are a great man Fred! Hope to keep in touch and keep up the good work! I will always go to you for my chicken questions! Thanks so much, Sophia Rich!
