""Kathy's Chicken Chick blog is one of the few consistently reliable online sources of information on all things chicken. Her book does not disappoint."" -- Bestselling poultry author Gail Damerow Kathy provides excellent information in a well-organized format about how to maintain the health of chickens and care for them properly. As a chicken owner myself, her book enlightened me on husbandry practices that I will incorporate into my flock. I am thrilled to have this comprehensive guide to pet chickens as a resource, and will recommend it to all of my poultry clients. -- Forrest I. Townsend, III, DVM, DACVS I've known and worked with Kathy since 2012, and am very pleased finally to see a backyard chicken book written by someone so knowledgeable and dedicated to spreading real facts that dispel many of the rumors surrounding backyard chicken keeping. You are holding a well-written and reliably fact-checked book--and an invaluable addition to your bookshelf! -- Mike Petrik, DVM, MsC, aka ""Mike, The Chicken Vet"" The Chicken Chick Facebook page and blog are meccas of chicken-keeping knowledge and first-hand expertise. Kathy's book continues in that same spirit. Grab a pen as you read, because you'll want to underline and dog-ear constantly. Newbies and seasoned poultry owners will learn something new and invaluable on nearly every page, from fun tipsto advice that may literally save a bird's life. A must-own for poultry owners and anyone looking to start this incredibly rewarding hobby. -- Brettan Hawkins, Social Media Manager, Tractor Supply Company As a large-scale provider of poultry, we understand how overwhelming it can be to get started and continue raising healthy chickens.
