Basic information on large number of poultry breeds
I purchased the book more just to look at pictures of different chicken breeds (coffee table book) so would like to have seen a bit better quality/more colorful pictures of hens and roosters. The book did include information on a large number of breeds of chickens and many other breeds of poultry also. Covered basic information such as size, colors and special qualities. Included some history on each breed which was interesting.

Poultry Breeds was an exciting gift!
All three of my purchases were gifts for my daughter who is a new crazy chicken lady (hence the magnet!). She was thrilled with all of them so I assume they were perfect. Your response to my order was incredible. I could not believe I received them so quickly and I am grateful. Thank you for everything! My order was perfect!
