Is this the right book for me?

Raise Happy Chickens is a quickly accessible but authoritative guide, suitable for total beginners, that provides all the information you need to start keeping your own chickens.

Telling you which breed of bird lays best and providing useful guidance on housing, equipment and the necessities of day-to-day care, it meets all the needs of anyone who dreams of a garden full of happy, clucking birds. It also goes beyond just chickens to other types of poultry, and gives advice and practical guidelines on housing, with full explanation of key areas like welfare, behaviour and diet.

Victoria Roberts, BVSc MRCVS, is the premier backyard poultry vet in the UK, has five books on keeping chickens (and other poultry), lectures extensively and regularly contributes to the backyard poultry press.
