I really want some chickens!

Now, I know that these "For Dummies" books are kind of cliche, but I really thought that this one was useful. It covers ever thing from choosing chickens and getting zoning approval to housing, anatomy and butchering. This book is written for the beginner backyard hobbyist and is probably too basic for someone with chicken experience, but I think that the comprehensive information would be invaluable for me especially as problems and questions would arise. (They always do!) I plan to keep this handy as I start my chicken raising adventure; I have the feeling I'll need it!
