This comprehensive guide, written in charming prose from the perspective of an organic farmer, will appeal to readers who are interested in raising chickens, or simply want the best knowledge about how to cook them. With this in mind, farmer and animal expert Jennifer Megyesi discusses all the basic details of raising the birds--general biology, health, food, choosing breeds, and so on--and she cuts through the smoke to identify what terms like organic, free-range, and so on really mean for poultry farmers and consumers. <p/>No chicken book would be complete without information on how to show chickens for prizes, and this is no different, but <i>The Joy of Keeping Chickens</i> also stresses the importance of self-sustainability and organic living, and the satisfaction of keeping heirloom breeds. Readers will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this readable, informative guide, and Megyesi's enthusiasm about keeping chickens. Coupled with Geoff Hansen's gorgeous full-color photographs, this text makes for an instant classic in the category.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jennifer Megyesi</b> lives with her son, five cats, and a goofy Labrador retriever on Fat Rooster Farm in Royalton, Vermont. <p/><b>Geoff Hansen</b> is a photographer and editor at the Valley News in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
