Young Chicken Farmers: Tips for Kids Raising Backyard Chickens by Vickie Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was really interesting and informative, although I wish it would have been a bit more informative. For instance I would have like to have seen all the types of chickens and their qualities, like egg laying, being a pet etc. This book is good at telling basics but I felt there could have been more. I did enjoy and felt it was a help on many things like what you need to start with your baby chicks to keep them warm and in one place. What you would need as they grew. Over all I liked the book but would have liked a bit more.
