The Best Yet December 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I buy books about chickens quite often, usually from the local feed store. But this book beats them all so far. It offers tons of information a chicken lover/owner wants or needs to know about care, breeding and more. It also has beautiful colored, detailed photos and sketches on almost every size, breed and origin, types of combs, feathers and more. I keep it on my coffee table for daily reference (I'm new to chicken rearing). And the price was 1/2 of what I've paid for others. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy chickens.
not an encyclopedia, but a nice European book June 21, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book provides detailed descriptions of the full range of chickens available in Europe. Photography is great, too. I really enjoyed it and have re-read it many times.br /br /For American readers, I think Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds (a large scale paperback) may be more useful, since it covers only the APA breeds available in the United States. But for the chicken fanatic, this is still a very enjoyable read. The chicken care info at the beginning of the book is nice, and it is interesting to read a European perspective, too.br /br /This is also a very sturdy, well-bound volume-- the sort of book that will last forever.

I gave this 4 stars because I don't think calling it the Complete Encyclopedia of Chickens is accurate. It is very informative, but certainly not complete. It does cover the basics does offer detail but not in depth. It's a hard cover book with full color glossy pages. The photos are very good it is a very attractive book to have. It will not answer all you questions regarding chickens though. You will need to purchase another book for that. Storey's guide to Chickens is very good. But if you just want a little reading material an attractive book to boot, then this is a book worth buying.
Picture Perfect Poultry (" Great introduction to chickens! January 10, 2006

The Encyclopedia of Chickens (Hardbound Version) is a quality book through and through. The photography is the best I've seen in a chicken book.br /br /The breeds are well presented visually, often as chicks, poults and adults. Which takes the mystery out of wondering what they should look like young or what they will look like when mature.br /br /The write ups are very helpful and go into often neglected details such as individual breed mannerisms and behavior traits. Though each chicken is individual in temperment, breeds are pre-disposed and this book reveals that expertly.br /br /Get this book while you can, I'm unhappy that they are not going to re-print such an obviously wonderful and important book which should be shared by every chicken nut. br /br /I can't say enough about it, I just love it.br /br /FredsFineFowl
A Great Value! November 8, 2005

Wow - I wish every chicken book had so much information for so little money! I have long looked for a book that has identifying photos of various breeds, and this one is great! (Except they didn't mention my beloved Dominiques!). While it should not be your ONLY poultry book, it should absolutely be ONE of them! Don't forget to hug your chickens today!
