I bought this book when I was talking about getting chickens. Didn't know a thing about them. I read and read this book. Went to a chicken auction a few months later and bought my first 4 girls. I am proud of what I picked. Silver Laced Wyandottes, big, healthy, friendly, dependable. I love them. This book is a must have especially for beginners. Im using it now to hatch my own eggs.
