A quick and fun read, this book is just what it claims to be; stories of the authors experience keeping pet chickens. Bits of information combined with a conversational style, and a further reading list of the books the author himself mentions as being useful. Not so much a guide to raising chickens as it is a fun romp through the ups and downs of pet chickens, I'dl highly recommend getting a hold of a copy if, like me, you are a city or suburban types who wants to join in celebrating the fun of these delightful feathered friends.
