Hatching & Brooding Your Own Chicks: Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, Geese, Guinea Fowl Review: A bible on raising chicks - I have read this book cover to cover twice. Extremely good material on the how(s) and why(s) of raising chickens from eggs or from chicks. There is a wealth of information in this book. There is both a high level overview and a detailed view on almost any topic that I can think of. I have eight chickens that lay about 35 eggs per week. I plan to increase my flock to 32 chickens now. I have purchased a number of books on desertcart regarding chickens and I put this book high on the list of "should have books". Another equally good book is "The Small-Scale Poultry Flock: An All-Natural Approach to Raising Chickens". If you only bought these two books you would be very comfortable feeding your family with the eggs from your own garden. Update 8/11/14. I did not purchase new chickens to get to my goal of 32. Instead three of my hens provided baby chicks for the rest. I now have 12 adults (4 donations) and 20 chicks. This book was very helpful as I researched what to do for the new "peeps". The three hens hatched 23 chicks. Three died. This book helped me understand what to do and what not to do (and understand why we cannot do it all). One died in a half shell in the water container face down (even though this was for watering chicks). One was injured falling out of the nest (about 4 feet). I spent five days with a pen, heat lamps, hand feeding water) trying to save this one. The last one died having never been able to leave the shell (half out). In each case this book helped me understand what to do (sometimes telling me to wait it out). Nature can be cruel but knowledge can make us kind. Great book that I turn to every day as they grow. Amazing to watch the little ones run behind their mother as I bring out some "treats" for them. Grapes, mealworms, corn on the cob (from my garden), etc. If you like to care for animals, chickens are a lot of fun and this book helps understand what to do. 5 stars plus. Review: Excellent Resource on Raising Chicks - This book is very informative, containing information for the beginner with their first incubator to the experienced breeder. It includes "technical" information I could not find in other resources - For example, egg development, health issues of new hatchlings and causes of death or deformation, chick diseases and normal growth/development; deficiencies in your hens and potential negative outcomes to the chicks...to name just a few. I have read it cover to cover and keep going back to it to answer many questions. It is well written and easy to understand with many tables, charts, and pictures. Excellect resource. A must have for the serious breeder. For those who want to know more about raising and managing chickens throughout all life stages, I recommend Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1612120148 | | Best Sellers Rank | #63,003 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Bird Care #44 in Animal Husbandry (Books) #122 in Bird Field Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (702) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.63 x 11 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781612120140 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1612120140 | | Item Weight | 1.7 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | January 15, 2013 | | Publisher | Storey Publishing, LLC | ## Images ![Hatching & Brooding Your Own Chicks: Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, Geese, Guinea Fowl - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91s95w5Qz4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bible on raising chicks *by J***H on March 25, 2014* I have read this book cover to cover twice.
