Reviews
"In this charming book, the authors provide a nice overview of the basics of poultry keeping for those new to the hobby. Beautiful color photographs throughout demonstrate the appeal of chickens, adding to the value of this nice primer on backyard chicken keeping." -- Booklist " LIVING WITH CHICKENS will help birds and their owners live in harmony and health. Rossier's easy-going style will be welcomed by both new and experienced poultry owners." -- Stephen Green-Armytage, EXTRAORDINARY CHICKENS, "Impressive. Rossier manages to cover so many topics thoroughly and yet retains a friendly, homey, "over-the-fence" feeling. An excellent choice for the beginner."--Barry Koffler, www.feathersite.com "I really love this book--the photography is great and the writing is simple and informative. If you have any interest in chickens, this is the book for you!" Tamara Staples, The Fairest Fowl "One way I measure a book is my desire to keep it hand for reference and few books will remain closer to hand than LIVING WITH CHICKENS. This is a wonderful book, the most comprehensive and easily digestable book about chickens I've come across. It's a delight to read a book and find yourself nodding, muttering that it was about time someone wrote a logical, clear, helpful guide to chicken raising. After having spent several years digging through agricultural tracks, or poultry books dry as corn husks, I can promise that anyone with an interest in chickens will be adviced to toss the other books and keep this one. The subtitle--Everything You Need to Know to Raise Your Own Backyard Flock--sets a standard for truth in advertising."--Valley News (Lebanon, NH) LIVING WITH CHICKENS is a handsome volume on excellent stock that will find its place on my kitchen bookshelf beside quality gardening books, cookbooks, and volumes on stonework and shed building. This is a book to poke through in winter when spring projects begin to bubble in the homeowner's mind, and a resource for the chicken-inclined...[it] is a volume to travel through, not merely read." --(3) Excerpts from The Valley News, the newspaper that serves Vermont and Northern New Hampshire "Stands on its own as an excellent introudction to chicken basics for newcomers. Recomended for public libraries."--Library Journal "Beaks and Valleys: Despite--or perhaps because of--the fact that chickens seem to have brains the size and capacity of a cashew, the backyard flock our family adopted last spring has proven to be a lot of fun to watch. 'They are vastly entertaining,' says Jay Rossier, whose book, Living With Chickens, is in its second printing. (Rossier, who lives in Vershire, VT, likes buff orpingtons.) Chicken rearing is catching on, even in the suburbs and cities, says Rossier, in part because it's easy, but also because of events like last week's massive poultry recall. 'Even if you put the quality issues aside, people have to remember how to raise their own food,' says Rossier. 'It's a victory garden thing as well.'" --"Peaks & Valleys" column by B.J. Roche, 10/20/02 "It's an uncommonly beautiful book to look at, too, with just enough lore about these beautiful, underappreciated animals to keep those of us entertained, who, in the end, will leave the nuggeteering to someone else." --Arkansas Times Review "Living with Chickens is guaranteed to inspire and delight." --The Times Argus (Burlington, VT area), "Everything you ever wanted to know and more! Beautifully realized with superb photographs--chock full of information--a chicken aficionado's delight." --Mark Lewis, Writer/Director,The Natural History of the Chicken "This is a wonderful book, the most comprehensive and easily digested book about chickens I've come across.

It's a practical, plain-as-dirt guide to raising chickens, it's spirit captured in the unexalted subtitle: 'Everything You Need to Know to Raise Your Own Backyard Flock'. It's all very matter-of-factly rendered, but never at the expense of the essential dignity of the enterprise.

Synopsis
Chickens-why not? Tens of thousands of people in all areas of the country enjoy raising these birds, whether for food or companionship. You can, too, with this indispensable guide. Then again, you may want to read Living With Chickens just for the sheer joy of it. Straightforward prose and dozens of clear, detailed illustrations gives any future chicken farmer the tools he needs to get started, from step-by-step instructions on building the coop to a brief background on chicken biology ("gizzard talk"); from hints on getting high-quality eggs from the hens, to methods for butchering. Vermonter Jay Rossier draws on his own experiences and those of his fellow poultrymen in discussing how to keep marauders from the chicken coop, the benefits of homemade grain versus commercial, and how to live (and sleep) with a rooster in your midst. Personal anecdotes, interesting facts, and lush, full-color photographs of the birds and their landscape round out this comprehensive book.
