For anyone giving thought to owning & raising a particular species, the "Storey" Guide books should be the first book to buy. Why? Because they focus on fundamentals, have many illustrations and data, are not so long that they're offputting and are written in "laymen's language" (I dislike the phrase) for USA conditions by authors respected in their industry. Once you have a "Storey" sense of a species you can move other books that address more specific aspects.

Chapters include:

  • Choosing a Breed
  • Fowl Disposition
  • Shelter
  • Feed and Water
  • Routine Management
  • Health Care
  • Laying-Hen Management
  • Eggs for Eating
  • Managing a Breeder Flock
  • Hatching Eggs
  • Chick Care
  • Exhibiting Your Chickens
  • Managing Meat Birds
  • Meat on the Table
