A Chicken in Every Yard by Robert and Hannah Litt

Fantastic book! When I get chickens, I'll be getting this book first. The authors walk you through owning a chicken, step by step, without being over the top. You'll learn about the different breeds of chickens and their strengths and weaknesses. You'll learn how to care for your chicken, including a guide to the most common illnesses and how to treat them. There is even a plan for building your own coop. I highly recommend this book - it's thorough, yet very readable and enjoyable.
