5.0 out of 5 stars Must have magazine for the poultry enthusist! September 8, 2006

Backyard Poultry magazine is a fabulous publication. Bi-monthly it arrives, eagerly awaited, in my mailbox. It is loaded chock-full of great color photo's, as well as black and white photo's; some photo's even sent in by their readers. Some of the features of this magazine include: question and answer forum; where a professional will answer your poultry questions, personal poultry stories, features about the poultry business, farm laws, poultry recipes, breed features and how-to features. One how-to feature a few issues back was on how to butcher your broilers, complete with step-by-step instructions with photos too and written in everyday joe language.

One reason I enjoy this magazine is because of the wonderful variety and balence of stories and features. It covers a wide range of poultry interests. Another bonus is that the advertising doesn't swamp the stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars helpful info about poultry care, breeds, housing, health, etc. January 21, 2008

This magazine is a bit like "Dog Fancy" for chicken lovers-- but more practical and useful. Lots of interesting articles about different poultry breeds, both common and rare. My favorite aspect of this magazine by far is a lengthy monthly feature by "The Answer Man" who answers readers' questions about their poultry. I am always really impressed by his thoughtful, complete, and extremely helpful answers to very interesting questions. I have learned a great deal by reading this magazine.

In short, a really fun read for people with pet chickens, those considering getting chickens, and anyone who enjoys raising poultry.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of A Kind....Enteratining, Informative January 15, 2013

I'm new to this magazine, and backyard chicken keeping and farming as well. I have a lot to learn and have picked up a couple of books on the know hows and how toos of it all as well. I originally picked up a few back issues of this magazine on Ebay and couldn't believe how enjoyable they were. In some ways its a typical magazine with its glossy ads, regular departments, question and answer and mail section, etc. But its subject matter over all is one of a kind to be sure. I know of no other magazine around that is strictly devoted to raising chickens in your back yard. Big or small operation this magazine is totally informative and more entertaining than you would imagine. Oh some of the articles here and there are a little beyond me yet to be sure. But in no way does this magazine cater to only the knowledgeable and experienced. Every issue I have read so far has had a generous amount of articles and regular features that cater to the true beginner. Besides, its a great magazine to have laying around just to see the reactions and comments that your guests will have... : ) Personally I love it and highly recommend it for either the seasoned or green backyard poultry farmer... : )

A neighbor gave me a copy of this magazine and I enjoyed it so much I had to subscribe. I'm a first time chicken herder, that is if you can actually herd chickens, and there is very good content and interesting articles.

3.0 out of 5 stars not informative, written for a 6th grader with no poultry experience September 27, 2014

Disappointed because I wish it was more informative. There is so much to learn- such as how to formulate your own food, poultry genetics, etc. Judging by my first magazine received, has very general info with many adds. Unfortunately, the only articles of much sustenance was written by major commercial feed manufacture.

Backyard Poultry
Think earlier review was too harsh- I increased the rating as i tried the on-line version and like it better... still would like to see more educational articles in the printed magazine..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have! August 3, 2013

By Silver SS

This has been our "go to" book(s) anytime we have a question or even a sick chicken. We happened upon this magazine a couple of years ago and even though we were raised in the country with chickens, this has taught us so much. It is a must have magazine for anyone who has or intends to have chickens. It will assist in everything from what breed is best for you to housing, feed and even the occasional recipe. Cannot say enough good things about it. the editors have done a great job staying true to the name.
