Very informative. From hatching chicks and raising them to what to expect through the whole life of a chicken. This book is great for adults too. Not only is it packed full of information, it has crafting ideas, interviews with children chicken keepers, recipes for chickens and humans, a fun poster, and even teaches you how to talk with chickens. I have a neighbor who owns chickens so I knew a little bit about them, but by reading this book I have learned so much more and would feel confident to raise some of my own. Great book!
It's hard for this book not to catch your eye. Not only are the pictures and drawings gorgeous, but the information it contains is astounding. This is definitely not a book just for children! I would recommend this for any new chicken keeper. It covers hatching chicks, raising them, the egg laying process and everything in between, not to mention a lot of the most common illnesses that can strike your flock. With recipes, crafts, stories, interviews and a page of helpful resources, this is a must have. I haven't come across a chicken book that actually held my attention but I had a lot of fun reading through this one. Melissa outdid herself!
We are currently own 27 backyard chickens! I know we are crazy! My girls ages 8 and 6 love this book. It has a bunch of fun activities you can do with your chickens. There are different chicken treat recipes, directions on how to give them a bath, and even science experiments to do with eggs. It has taught my girls the proper names for different parts of the chicken and more about chickens in general.This is a great resource for the beginner chicken owner or for someone who is wanting to get their children more involved it the backyard chicken lifestyle. It has tons of beautiful pictures and illustrations. It even comes with a poster that you can fill out to tell all about the chickens you own. That was a big hit with my girls. I think they showed everyone that came over for weeks after they got the book.
Don't let the name of this book fool you -- even if you don't have kids, this is an excellent book for a new chicken keeper who loves their chickens. I got so many ideas to make treats for my hens, and to make their lives more fun. The author truly understands the loving relationship we can create with our chickens.That being said -- if you do have kids - this book is a must - especially if your kids can read it prior to the first chicks moving in. They will have a blast treating their flock. More importantly, they will learn all about hens - from their anatomy to proper feeding and care. There are crafts and recipes for kids to do too.A delightful book - great information - vibrant photos - as the host of the internet based Chicken Show - this book is one of my favorites for all round chicken care for those of us who consider chickens pets. Love, love, love it.
Great little book, with instructions on everything from selecting chicken breeds, to building chicken coups, to daily care of chickens, to presenting chickens for show. Things I found especially useful were places where it told children to have an adult help them do things such as working with tools, and to have an adult check on local laws regarding home raising of chickens. They cut down from the thousands of chicken breeds available to just a few, very different breeds, with their pros and cons, to allow someone to decide what breed they want - as well as how to get them.The book would be useful for an adult who was thinking of keeping chickens for the first time, or at least the first time in many years.Nothing at all in the book was there about raising chickens for meat. A suggestion was made to possibly give a chicken which the child could not raise or keep to a farmer.
My 9 year old wanted chickens for her bday, so we made her read this book first. She loved it and is a happy chicken momma. This ook gives a nice overview of chicken basics - breeds, health, coop cleanliness, food and water.
My 5 year old daughter and I loved reading through this book. Very informative. We are preparing ourselves to get chickens within the next couple of years and will be referring to this book as we go along. Very pleased with this purchase.
I am so thankful for this book. It has been such a help with my chicks. My son has autism and has always loved chickens. The city aloud us to have chickens for therapy and this was one of the first books we read. My kids and I do many of the activities in the book. We make our own treats, art work l, wading pools and even meals worms thanks to ideas in this book! It has been my bible on chickens! The pictures are awesome and the writing is easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and writing this amazing book! 🐓❤️🐔👍👍👍👍👍
