Publisher Description
Because sometimes our brains just need to nibble ...
It's like food, occasionally you need a three-course meal, other times just a snack will do. Quik eBooks are like the cocktail sausage of the eBook world; short, tasty and perfect when you're on the go.
A garden can be a serene place after a stressful day, but imagine how rewarding it would be to see a few chickens pecking around the borders making their contented clucking. Keeping chickens is not as difficult as some people might think. In reality they are no harder to look after than a cat or dog and, they don’t need walking in the rain. They also pay their way by providing fresh eggs to enhance any breakfast table. This practical guide covers everything from choosing a breed and deciding on the right coop to dealing with problems and diseases. This Quik eBook tells you all you need to know about keeping chickens.

Reviewed!
Enjoyed reading the eBook, however, it was very short 40 odd pages and one spelling error. More information (in depth) could have been added, rather than simply introducing a topic and skimping over it. It would have to give me more detail to have confidence to start to keep chickens.
An addition of forty other pages full of equally good information would probably suffice.
On the whole an easy to read eBook and nice touch of adding egg recipes to the end of the book but rather than three five would have been better (minimum).
Does lack in depth explanation as mentioned but a good quick start guide before you would decide if you wanted to get into keeping chickens.
Not recommended
This book reads more like a list of facts than practical advice on keeping Chickens for beginners , it would have benefitted from useful practical tips on handling and rearing Hens and the differing types of equipment coups etc available to the newbie . There are better books out there , pass this by as its not much more than a pamphlet
