A Kid's Guide to Keeping Chickens: Best Breeds, Creating a Home, Care and Handling, Outdoor Fun, Crafts and Treats Review: Best Kids chicken book!!! - My family is preparing for our first backyard chicks this spring. We love to read and research in advance for any new project. While I found the Chicken Chick’s Guide To Backyard Chickens very helpful for me - I wanted something that my children (ages 7 & 4) could read and engage with as well. Melissa Caughey’s “A Kids Guide to Keeping Chickens” has been without a doubt the best book I found for them. There are beautiful full color photographs, crafts and recipes for kids to do for their chickens, and most importantly, lots of good information about caring for chickens. And it’s all written in a way that kids can read and understand. The chapters cover everything from selecting kid friendly breeds, to preparing a home for your chickens, the anatomy of a chicken, to daily care, handling a sick chicken, and having fun with your chicken. My 7 year old is able to read this book on her own, but prefers when we read and discuss together. I’ve certainly learned some things from this book myself! The 4 year old loves the pictures of the different chickens and looking at the projects we can work on for the chickens. I loved this book so much I bought a second copy for a gift. I highly recommend this book if you have children and are getting or already have started your backyard flock! Review: Fun to Read and Full of Practical Ideas - I pre-ordered this book because I am a fan of Tilly's Nest, Melissa's Blog, and wanted to be sure to get it as soon as it came out. I read it cover to cover in one day. It is not just for children, any age will enjoy reading it. It is easy and fun to read and even the most experienced chicken keepers will find ideas they can put to use. I love the common sense approach to chicken keeping that the book shares. When I read this book, unlike some other books I've read, I find myself thinking that these ideas and practices make sense, that they are something a real person would actually do. It covers everything you would expect a book on chicken keeping to cover.. caring for chicks, hen development, illness management, coop safety, etc... but it also has fun recipes (Rice Pudding is really good), crafts, little stories from kids... it is just a really easy book to read that still has lots of great content! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,315 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Children's Farming & Agriculture Books #160 in Children's Pet Books (Books) #204 in Children's Farm Animal Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (815) | | Dimensions | 7.55 x 0.8 x 9.75 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 1612124186 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1612124186 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | March 10, 2015 | | Publisher | Storey Publishing, LLC | | Reading age | 6 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![A Kid's Guide to Keeping Chickens: Best Breeds, Creating a Home, Care and Handling, Outdoor Fun, Crafts and Treats - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uyflLnM0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Kids chicken book!!! *by A***E on April 16, 2019* My family is preparing for our first backyard chicks this spring.

Well-written & illustrated, informative, cute & fun book for kids (and adults!) :-D *by L***L on April 24, 2022* We really liked this book from the first opening. It's well-written and illustrated. It describes many aspects of chicken-keeping. Covers many pertinent topics, in language kids can easily understand, but does not 'talk down' to them, or use a 'baby-talk' format. Straightforward writing, addressing many aspects of chickens from egg to adult. It also shares a lot of information about their surroundings, and important (and fun) ways of caring for them. Cute craft ideas and recipes for egg dishes in the last couple chapters of the book. It also has 'testimonies' from real kids, about why they love their chickens. Definitely recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13699252-a-kids-guide-to-keeping-chickens-best-breeds-creating-home](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13699252-a-kids-guide-to-keeping-chickens-best-breeds-creating-home) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
