About this product

Product Information

For 17 years readers have turned to Storey Books for advice on raising animals. Our Modern Way series of six books has sold more than 1,000,000 copies. In an effort to provide readers with the best how-to animal books on the market we are completely updating all six Modern Way titles and reintroducing them as part of our Guide to Raising series. Written by experts, these guides give novice and experienced livestock farmers all they need to know to successfully keep and profit from animals. Each book includes information on selection, housing, space requirements, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, behavior, and health concerns and remedies for illness. The books also address the business of raising animals -- processing meat, milk, eggs, and more. The authors were chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to explain the ins and outs of animal husbandry in an inviting and authoritative manner. Whether readers are ready to start an entire herd or flock or are considering purchasing their first animal, Storey's Guide to Raising series offers vital information; each book is an indispensable reference.

California Backyard Chicken Farmer
I purchased this book when I was thinking about getting a few laying chickens for our suburban backyard. I was looking for an informative book with lots of color photos of different types of chickens and coops for a small scale chicken farmer. While this is a very informative book it's not a "fun" book; it doesn't have any photos only illustrations. It was written more for serious poultry growers with hundreds of chickens. It is definitely for reference and not one that you would want to sit down and read cover to cover. With all of that said, now that I have the chickens in the backyard, I will say that I have referred back to it many times. So..my recommendation is that this book is good for those who own chickens but isn't the best one for those just looking into buying chickens. I hope this helps!Read full review
