Great variety of info — bad photo editing
I really love the layout and color of this book. But some of the info is just plain crazy — like the overly complex method the author suggests when using a broody hen.

Good discussion of breeds.
The advice about breeds was spot-on. When they say flighty, they mean it. And when they recommend newbies steer clear of a specific breed, the advice is worth listening to.

Lovely book, but doesn’t cover everything
This book is full of photos and general info.
The info on the few specific breeds that they do discuss was inconsistent.
