Chicken & Eggs: River Cottage Handbook No.11 Hardcover – February 24, 2015

Mark is great and really knows his stuff. The pictures in this book are beautiful. The book is very informative with information on both heritage and hybrid breeds. It doesn't go into tons of knitty gritty detail but it is a perfect place to start for the beginner and will send you well on your way. I also like that it is hardback. We own the entire RC handbook collection.

This does not have as many recipes as River Cottage's other books. It is mostly a handbook for raising chickens. Very informative and as always, well written.
