They come in all shapes and sizes: some are layers, some are just born to strut. Mark Diacono begins at the basics, showing how you can raise chickens from eggs, and look after them once they start laying their own. The first part of Chicken & Eggs explains how to think ahead about what kind of chickens you want and how many to get, whether you are going for a breed that lays eggs regularly, or that you might eventually use for eating, or that simply looks decorative. You can choose from Orpingtons, Derbyshire redcaps, Muffed Old English Game, Leghorns and many more. Mark then goes on to show how you can breed chickens, encourage them to lay, work out what kind of eggs you have (are they destined for the eggcup, or will they hatch into baby chicks?), and take care of them day to day, as well as how you can go about getting the birds on the table. The final part of the book is a recipe section that goes far beyond the roast, with lots of delicious ideas for fresh eggs or home-reared chicken. With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this is an essential guide for anyone who can't stop thinking about chicks. Review: One of the two best books on chickens available. - I have always wanted to keep chickens, especially since as a child I used to help my relatives look after theirs. I have bought several books over the years as a source of reference but in all honesty Mark's book here is an all-encompassing one and guides you through every step, I cannot recommend this book enough. Out of the several books that I owned on starting out with chickens I have kept only two; this one by Mark, and the second by Suzie Baldwin (who is also our local poultry keeper and supplier) called "Chickens - the essential guide", I would say that together they are all you need to have to read and to help you on your road to keeping chickens. As a previous commentator says, as part of the River Cottage series this book is just excellent and it continues the high standard that all the other RC books have. Well done again Mark. Review: Great Book! - I have several River Cottage Handbooks and this one doesn't let the side down! Informative at a really easy to understand level - we are new to chicken keeping and I wanted a good reference point and this certainly fits the bill (or should I say beak??!) Mark's passion for these feathery friends comes across really well and apart from anything else, it's as really good read! It covers starting up, feeding, breading, despatch and recipes. Would definitely recommend. ## Features - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 39,082 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7 in Bird Care (Books) 35 in Farm & Working Animals 99 in Meat, Poultry & Game (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 208 Reviews | ## Images ![Chicken & Eggs: River Cottage Handbook No.11 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818hZr0lqqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the two best books on chickens available. *by R***T on 16 June 2013* I have always wanted to keep chickens, especially since as a child I used to help my relatives look after theirs.
