I really loved this book a lot. I was at my grandma's after a funeral when i first was inspired to get chickens. My cousins and i were feeding the baby chicks. I then noticed the new chicken coop. The new chicks were going to be put in the new one when they got older. I wanted to know the type of chickens Uncle Greg had. Soon it became an obsession... Two days later, i swore that when we moved out i'll get chicks. That's how i found this book. I love the humor and details.It had all the same questions i was asking! I really recommend giving this great book a try!It has so much more to it than you think... now all i have to do is try to convince my mom to let me get my chosen breed: Barred Plymouth Rock. (recommended if you live in MN) 'cause of the weather. ENJOY!
