    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2009
    While all books by Jeremy Hobson are well researched and written, His "Backyard Poultry Keeping" is an excellent book to add to anyone's collection. It is written in a very practical manner by someone who has plenty of 'hands on' experience of his subject. A refreshing book against the many others by those authors who have little or any knowledge of keeping chicken.
    Well done Jeremy.

    Great as your first book to help you decide what you want. A quick read but not detailed so you'll want a more detailed book for further reference.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Backyard Poultry Keeping
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2009
    I have kept Chickens for about 3 year without reading any books. I bought this to get a high level overview and found it to be an interesting read. Jeremy Hobson is clearly very knowledgeable on his subject and offers many useful insights.

    If you would like to look at poultry keeping in the round then this book is to be recommended. If you have a specific interest in say chickens or ducks or turkeys then I would recommend you read this in conjunction with "specialist" literature.

    If like me your flock is mainly hens then "Keeping Chickens: The Essential Guide to Enjoying and getting the Best from Chickens" by the same author is to be highly recommended.
