Description
In a kid-friendly way, this book provides a wealth of information through text, full-color photos, quick facts and diagrams. Pictures show children caring for chickens; periodic pages share children's testimonies of their chicken-care experiences. A bonus, pull-out, seek-and-find poster allows your kids to write about their own experiences. Without overwhelming, this Storey publisher book gives your family an in-depth foundation to start and care for your own flock. Chapters explain thoroughly why they should care for chickens; the best breeds for your needs, hatching and brooding; chicken development; housing and feeding; egg care; responding to illnesses; handling and training; and gardening in a chick-friendly manner. Tips and instruction are informative but also creative: anatomy, medical tips, creative ways to feed and enjoy your hens, and more. I appreciate the emphasis on children really observing and noting changes in chicken behavior to keep them healthy and happy. Two chapters provide chicken-related crafts and recipes. This kid-and-adult appealing book would build a great unit study and includes a reference page and an index. Fresh eggs, too! 137 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
