Great Stuff

I got this wee book and after reading it knocked together a hen house, bought 3 hens and never looked back.
Whilst the book is short it tells you all the basics you need to know about keeping hens.

Not happy

I'm loathe to criticise any National Trust/Country Living puplication, but I expected so much more from this book. The book does give a good introduction to Hen keeping, but it is very basic, and is a TINY little book, not much bigger than the size of a notebook. The synopsis on Amazon also said there was "stunning photography"...there is not one single photograph in the book, just a few sketches and hand-drawn illustrations(perhaps I have received the wrong book?!?....) Ok...so the title does point you in the direction that it will "inspire" you, and the book does make you want to rush out and buy a chicken asap, but the book is just so small! If you were seriously going to keep chickens for the first time, you would need much more information than this book provides. Ditto for another book in the series "Beekeeping"...also a letdown. Sorry!

Fabulous

Practical but witty and easy to use, this book gives brilliant advice on keeping chickens. Using first hand experience, it gives the basics for anyone considering keeping a few hens. I've seen the review copy and it is brilliant.
