Another great addition to my Storey library.
Great book, as always, from the Storeyโs line. We were looking for information on Quail, and it delivered.

Excellent resource for flock management
This book is an excellent reference guide for anyone with poultry. Itโs much more reliable than internet searches and easy to read & understand. I have found it invaluable, I recently started my first flock, and I refer to it often. So glad I saw this on a Reddit feed, it was a good purchase!

Book as advertise but stinky of perfume
Book in great shape, arrived as planned. I would have given 5 stars if it werenโt for the awful perfum smell I canโt get rid off after airing the book for days outside!

Detailed without being overwhelming
I really like the style of this author's writing. The book is very easy to read and follow, has so much great information. Details are most pertinent for raising different types of poultry - not a bunch of junk to bog down reading. I also agree with this author's point of view regarding the environment and responsibility to the animals we raise for food - this point of view is apparent, without being distracting. Author is not trying to push political agenda - just really common sense farming and livestock practices. Book has side stories and vignettes that add to the enjoyment. You can pick up this book and start reading anywhere, but you will wind up reading the whole book and coming back for reference. Great book for reference/library for any poultry raiser.

Good book for those with several bird varities
It gave me the information I needed for turkeys, I'm a first time turkey raiser. I liked the chapters on health, it had a different way, and easier way to trim spurs without cutting. I haven't read up on some of the other birds but I plan to because I have ducks, chickens and quail. I also read up on some other birds I don't have but would like to and it gave me much needed information that is needed before you start buying the birds. This is a great book to read before you start with any farm birds.

Great Resource for beginners and the curious.
Met our expectations and then some. We enjoy all the Storey's Guides that we have purchased to date. They are simplistic yet detailled. The combination of all the "Storey's" poultry books have ensured we have a sustainable family poultry business :) We now raise peafowl, pheasants, turkey's, 11 varieties of heritage breed chickens and 2 types of hybrids. Thanks to these guides we will also try raising quail this year :)
