"Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens" Fourth Edition
Gail Damerow is an expert on chickens. I had read that statement in my research on what books to get on chickens. My daughter-in-law raises chickens. My son mentioned to her that I was researching books on chickens, For Mother's Day, my daughter-in-law got me "The Chicken Encyclopedia" by Gail Demarow. In my conversation with my daughter-in-law thanking her for the book, I mentioned I had read Gail was an expert on chickens and my daughter-in-law said she met Gail at a seminar she went to and Gail is indeed an expert on chickens. This book will definitely be my go-to book when I get my chickens. I highly recommend the book!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
