My dad raised chickens all of his life. He had many breeds and varieties. He no longer has the chickens and when I saw this book I thought he would enjoy it. I gave it to him for Christmas and when he opened it he looked through it right away and said, "Maybe I need to get some chickens again." The pictures are great. Everyone at the party enjoyed the book and I know my dad will enjoy it over and over again.

Even though it did not have lots and lots of facts, the pictures make this book well worth buying.

If you dislike chickens, avoid this book. If you want dense text with footnotes and no pictures, avoid this book. If neither applies, you should buy it. As a follow-on to Extraordinary Chickens, it continues the tradition of magnificent birds, poses and photography, organized so you can have a feast of picture-watching and, if you like, methodically find out about the breeds you're viewing. As with Extraordinary Chickens, it's not necessary to be a chicken freak really to enjoy this coffee-table book (not a dismissal! It's just too splendid to put into the bookcase).
