I have browsed/read the previous edition of Gail Damerow's book, but in this one I discovered information that was not in the older one. For example, the information about types of predators and how to identify them was of particular interest to me, since one of my young chickens was eaten by a "mystery animal." This book is great as either a book to read through or as a handbook (which I am using it as). There's also good guidelines on making your own feed. Every chicken keeper must own this book!

Well I haven't read that many books on raising chickens, but this book seems to be THE guide to have. Every subject you can imagine is covered. However, I think the breed selection section could be better. The other book I have is Keeping Chickens, which has terrific pictures and descriptions of the most popular breeds available. Like I said in the review of that book: a marriage of the two books would be perfect. If you're looking for a detailed reference book about raising chickens this is definitely the book for you.
