5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book
By Errol on April 7, 2015
Format: Flexibound Verified Purchase
Reading this book is really not to be read out in its entirety but as you read day by day you can take some notes or highlight some important info from the book so when problems occurs you can always come back to the book and it will be helpful to you.

I've reared fowls, ducks and turkeys for many many years in my own yard and by learning from experience over the years I think I know quite a lot about them. I raised my chickens in such a way and trained them to go to there chicken coop when its evening to roost. I remember back when my grand parents used to raise chickens all they did was throw some corn in the morning and the evening for them and the rest of the day they go around the yard and forage around for there own food looking for insects etc. I on the other hand when I started to raise my own always had food throughout the day in there coop so whenever they feel to eat they just came into the coop and eat and back out to forage around for insects and eating a lot of green grass. Oh yes chickens love to eat plenty grass. One day one of my chicken got diarrhea and I had some baby medicine for diarrhea and tried it with a small teaspoon into its mouth and amazingly it got better the very next day. That is one of the things I've tried and was successful when raising my chickens plus many other things you'll use when your chickens get sick especially when they get worms and using some home remedy medicine to purge them from the worms.

What is striking for me in the book is the five toes chicken and that is the very first time I ever knew about those type of chickens (I've posted two pictures of them). Reading this little poem in the book was so exciting and thrilling for me that I must add it to my review.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsNot what I expected
By Jennifer on June 3, 2014
Format: Flexibound Verified Purchase
I was hoping for a book with a lot more information on raising chicks the first few months.
It touches on this area in a few paragraphs but that is about it.

If you are looking for thorough insight into chicken breeds and their history, or how to hatch chicks from eggs, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, not so much.

5.0 out of 5 starsRespect for chickens
By Elizabeth Bettenhausen on November 27, 2013
Format: Flexibound
Remembering chickens from farm life decades ago, I picked up How to Raise Chickens: Everything You Need to Know by Christine Heinrichs. If you’ve never seen a live chicken close-up or you wonder how the eggs in the omelet could taste better, read this book. If you want chickens to be raised with skillful care, read this book.
Heinrichs writes about chicken breeds, caring for chickens, showing chickens, and the history of chickens. She writes as if she and the reader were sitting in the sunshine outside sipping chamomile tea and talking about chickens. Her expertise comes through words and photos, graphs and diagrams, glossaries and technical topics. Homemade cookies accompany the tea, with a hen clucking for crumbs.
The author’s clear perspective speaks through content artfully displayed on every page. An Internet search to find the information in this readable book would take many months, and the charm of the book’s aesthetic passion would still be missing.
The American Poultry Association guides the raising of chickens with the American Standard of Perfection. The author says that raising chickens “toward perfection [is] well worth the effort.” So is reading this book, even if you won’t raise chickens but do have a healthy curiosity about the world. How to Raise Chickens engages you with respect and lives up finely to this advice. If your chickens win awards in poultry shows, Heinrich writes, “Be a gracious winner. Kind words of fellowship and encouragement are always welcome.”
The book demonstrates that advice with great factual information, wisdom, fine writing, and contagious enthusiasm for chickens. A gracious winner indeed!

2.0 out of 5 starsNice Picture, Light on Useful Content
By Aaron U. Bolin on March 5, 2013
Format: Flexibound
I purchased this book along with four baby chicks, because I wanted to know how to raise chickens. The book talks around the topic of raising chickens but never delivers any practical, useful, how-to advice for someone who actually wants to raise a few chicks. You get the history of chickens, flock management and breading, showing chickens, and health care. There is nothing about necessary supplies, feed and caring, cleaning and coop management, egg safety and sanitation, or butchering.

On the bright side, the pictures of chickens were very pretty. The book was visually very appealing -- just light on useful content.

5.0 out of 5 starsHeinrichs has written the ultimate how to raise chickens book ❤
By Samaire P. on November 21, 2013
Format: Flexibound
I bought this book at the urging of a friend and was not disappointed. Not only is it chock full of essential information on how to raise a chicken, not only is it full of really beautiful pictures, the text is written in a great, easy-to-read manner that just sucked me in and kept me reading. I love this author's style! Wish she would put out a book on raising rabbits ❤

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Useful!
By Roland L Frye on February 27, 2014
Format: Flexibound
I've had this book for a while now, and often go to it to answer questions. There are some perspectives that you don't see in other books, such as feeding from your own resources, breeding strategies. Being a visual person, I appreciate the photos and way the book was laid out. I use this for reference more than most of my other poultry books, and I have a lot of them!
