    This book isn't just about chicken breeds! It's a comprehensive guide covering everything from the history of the chicken, to chicken behavior, anatomy and health; feeding, courting rituals and how to prepare chickens for show; breeding, brooding, chicken coop design considerations and more! In a market inundated with chicken books, we're choosy: we only want to carry the best. We chose this one because we're suckers for great photos, and this book is saturated with them -- adults and baby chicks alike. Some of the exotic breeds included are the Ardenner, Bassette, Breda, Dandarawi, Marsh Daisy, Scots Dumpy, Bielefelder, North Holland Blue, Ohiki, Satsumadori and others even you poultry pros are sure to be surprised by! The British author gives us a good overview of the breeds they go crazy for across the pond.
