Book means for one who truly seeks specific information. Indeed this book is very nice the only concern is that if you have already researched on the internet, you will be disappointed because it will not teach you anything extra. Do not count see all chicken breeds with pictures, only a summary table at the end all that. However for those who like the title says "would like" well raise chickens, I recommend this as a fun way to raise your future small pullets, however nothing beats a trip to the country market and make the meeting with es breeders.
