I thought this would be a recipe book, but I suppose I should have read the description more carefully. It's actually a book about how to raise chickens and harvest their eggs. The book is very detailed, and it made it seem like anyone could raise chickens. I'm knocking off a star because I didn't like the way the book was written. There are a lot of redundant passages and pictures. Still, if you're ever been curious about raising chickens, you should read this book.
