About this title

Synopsis

Chicken-keeping is an increasingly popular hobby as more and more people discover the benefits of raising chickens and supplying their own eggs. Written by an expert chicken-keeper of many years standing, the subjects covered include choice of breed, housing, feeding, breeding, showing and indeed all the many topics the new chicken keeper will want to understand. This practical guide incorporates much of the author s forty years of experience as a chicken keeper, as well as taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of other enthusiasts. Also included, either because of their relevance, or simply their ability to raise a wry smile, are several snippets taken from poultry books written during the first half of the twentieth century

About the Author

Jeremy Hobson is a self-confessed ‘chickenholic’ and has kept all manner of poultry since his pre-teen years. For over three decades he was involved with gamekeeping and shoot management which gave him ample opportunity to indulge his hobby. Well-known and respected for many years as an author, writer and occasional broadcaster on all matters rural, Jeremy has been responsible for scores of magazine articles since his first was published in 1976. Success with Chickens is Jeremy’s second book for Quiller (his first being The Shoot Lunch, ISBN 978-1-84689-092-5 published in 2011).
