This is one of my most favorite books of all time to include those books which mostly contain pictures. These chickens are turly 'sharp' birds and this book gives them due respect. Ms. Staples did a excellent job - let's have another edition...

I recieved "The Fairest Fowl" is one of my favorite poultry type books because it's classy and informative on certain show breeds.
the pictures are top quality and show every color of the breeds.
They have little color charts for each breed to show color types for their eggs, feathers and such.
I think this book is a great display book for your coffee table! Wonderful!

These are lovely chickens, and despite their fine pedigrees, they do not seem to be the least bit snobbish. I'm sure many of them are Republicans, and some may even drive SUV's, but that is no reason not to purchase this book, and revel in these birds' awesome beauty.
Not all chickens can be activists, you know. Some chickens are destined, by their extraordinary plumage, unusually-shaped beaks, and - dare I say it - their discriminating taste in corn and various seeds, to be singled out as simply the loveliest and finest chickens the world has ever seen.
Sure they are pretty, but I have it on good confidence that the chickens depicted herein are also fine, upstanding members of their community. What could be better? You should buy this book today!
All hail the pretty chickens!

I was absolutely charmed by this book. The text and beautiful color photos take you into the world of unusual chickens and the people who breed and show them. If you are fond of barnyard animals, you will love this book.

The Fairest Fowl is a lovely book. It is a delight to see a book which actually presents good birds in good condition to the public. These are not your "run-of-the-mill" chickens, but rather well-bred, high quality birds who are a tribute to "the fancy." As a poultry exhibitor myself, I only wish the book had been more complete in its coverage of all the Classes of poultry (for example, no Langshans or large Cochins) since they are so beautifully presented.
