Exotic chickens, they could be as exotic as you wanted,i liked the small colored in chickens in the first few pages then the full page to color, i also liked the  inclusion of the color bars at the end of the book so you could record colors and mediums used for future reference oh the fun you could have with this book!

If you can't understand chicken language I can...so let me translate for you what my roosters tell the hens when presented with these tasty morsels.  The roosters say "Get over here now!-It's a delicious feast!!!" The hens happily come running with noises of enjoyment as they savor the yummy worms.

This is a great book for novice to advanced flocksters, especially if you also garden and care about sustainability and eating food that is good for you. Harvey Ussery is a very entertaining read (I would love to have him as a neighbor) and extremely experienced with several species. Instead of saying "This is how to do it." he explains how he approached various problems, what worked and what didn't, and suggests other things to try. He includes "guest columns" from other experienced poultry raisers, big and small, offering their perspectives on particular topics. His advice is suitable for flocks of a few backyard birds to small commercial operations. He has a creative curiosity that leads him to try some unconventional methods of feeding and caring for his flock, and getting them to do a lot of the gardening work for him in the process. His chapters on feeding and formulating feeds are most valuable, giving you permission to break your bondage to factory formulated feeds. This book should be required reading for every poultry owner, and a lot of gardeners, too.

Take it from a chicken farmer. We get one of these every year. Amazing how consistently amazing the photography and choice of breeds are. When the year's done, we hang the pictures up in the coops. The chickens seem to enjoy them, too!

So funny! I bought this Squawkin' chicken to use as part of the fun for parties when we do the chicken dance. It brings on lotsa laughs!

Such a great (and funny) calendar. The image quality is superb and the chicken poses are perfect. Great for everyone! Chickens!

I checked this book out at the local library and after several bellyaching laughs, I decided I had to add it to my collection!  Needless to say, it did not stay in my collection long since it was borrowed several times and kept by my MIL (none of whom own chickens). The author has such a funny way to "get into the mind of a chicken".

This book is not a handbook or how-to text but, you will definitely learn from his rather "twisted" experiences.  If you enjoy easy-to-read corky real-life novels, then this is a book for you.

Not only are in-shell peanuts great protein for my chickens, they are also a SUPER fun activity for the birds to get open!!! My rooster Albert loves being a strong triumphant boy, cracking open peanuts and then proudly clucking for the girls to come and enjoy the spoils he has provided for them. I think I enjoy peanut time as much as the chickens do :-) The bag I received was full and clean.....no insects or worms of any kind. It is currently (05/17) the best deal on Amazon with Prime shipping. I put them straight into my Vittle Vault and have never had problems with spoilage or vermin.

I am surprised by the variety of birds who are loving them!  I got them for the Eastern Blue Birds but have found others love them too!  They have been so entertaining to watch.

My husband and I heard the author read this book on NPR yesterday.  I was so delighted with it that I immediately ordered it for my granddaughters.  I may just get a copy for myself.  The story is amusing but also has some good lessons to impart -- the best kind of learning experience, in my opinion.  The illustrations are as entertaining as the story is, and the chickens are both silly and sympathetic.  I can't wait to read it to the girls!  A perfect book to read aloud and share, talk about, together.

Sandy Hammond has recounted her Adventures in Chicken Keeping in this delightful book, illustrated with her own watercolors. She steps in without much thought as to how keeping chickens will work out, and finds herself confronting challenges she didn't anticipate, such as chicks that grow up to be roosters and flying chickens who depart her yard for the neighbors'. She has a light touch and facility with words that will make this an enjoyable book to read to children. It may well inspire parents and children to get chickens of their own! If they do, they may want my books, How to Raise Chickens and How to Raise Poultry,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/How-To-Raise-Chickens-Everything-You-Need-To-Know-How-to-Raise/dp/0760328285/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise...)</a><a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/How-to-Raise-Poultry-How-to-Raise/dp/076033479X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">How to Raise Poultry (How to Raise...)</a>.

OMG!!!!! THIS IS one of the funniest things i have ever ever ever seen! You definitely will prove you have a sense of humor if you can "get" this one! It has the most funny photos of toy chickens posing in life situations and with funny captions about what is going on. TRULY HILARIOUS. **NOT** a book for kids. this is a perfect gift for someone who is hard to buy for with a great sense of humor. You will spend hours looking the pictures over and laughing at the captions. Magnificent!!!

So, this purchase sort of started out as a joke but soon became the go to book(s) (I bought both books) at parties and family gatherings.

My brother and his wife bought 3 rhoade island reds and couldn't stop talking about them.  They are NOT farmers, but more the yuppie type.  The more they talked, the more i laughed at how silly it all seemed.  UNTIL i saw the chickens and picked up my first warm egg.  Soon after i was looking at chicken books thinking of having my own little coop.  Fortunately i woke up from that dream but instead found these GORGEOUS books to give them. None of us knew how beautiful and varied chickens can be.  We have poured over these photos time and time again admiring them.

Frankly i have no idea about the text as i haven't read it.  We wanted the photos and we got more than we bargained for.  Absolutely beautiful books even if you are a vegetarian, and maybe especially for vegetarians!

World of Zoo for the Wii is a delightful game where animals are cared for, played with, and even customized to look exactly the way you wish.

This isn't a complicated game where you have to memorize the ratio of protein-to-fat to feed your tiger, or exactly how to create the ideal grassland habitat for your giraffe. Rather, this is aimed at the player who simply wants to enjoy their animals.

You begin with the animals. Would you like your tiger to have purple stripes? How about a giraffe with a green body to blend in better with the grass? You can do it! Make the perfect animals that you adore, and then set them loose in their exhibits.

You can watch the penguins slide down into their icy swimming pool, watch the lions frolic around, and come to know and love each of them. Toss them food. Change their play area around to keep them interested. Take photos of them. You could just sit back and watch them for hours, sort of like a live, always changing screensaver or aquarium.

If you're the type who loves the in depth interaction of some of the advanced sims out there, be warned that this game won't give you that kind of an experience. It's not its purpose. So that audience might not find this immersive enough.

However, for the group of people who enjoy simply playing with their critters, sort of like virtual pets that you can nuzzle under the chin and hear them purr, then World of Zoo has a lot to offer. The animals are cute and cuddly. The environments are welcoming. The animals seem to honestly enjoy romping around in their areas and playing with each other. There's little "harm" you can do - you're not worried about your animals eating each other or mauling a zoo-keeper. Instead, you simply ponder which toy to let them play with next.

Highly recommended for all ages. This is often the game I pop into the Wii when guests come over, to show them what the Wii is like. They end up getting hooked for hours!

I purchased my copy of World of Zoo with my own funds for the purpose of doing this review.

I absolutely loved this book. It's totally charming and funny, with wonderful diversity, and a fun twist that kept me guessing all the way up until it was revealed. The illustrations were really fun, and I loved the epistolary structure. It kind of made me want to get chickens, though I think I will be content with chicken-sitting for my neighbors from time to time, as I am unlikely to find chickens with magical powers. Highly recommended for a fun MG read!

Speaking truthfully one day, Henrietta informs Bob that he is not a chicken but a rooster, therefore he needs to stop clucking and learn to crow! Will she teach him, he asks? No! She kindly explains that she is a cat and only teach him how to meow. SO Bob learns to meow but then goes off in search of a rooster. Along the way he meets a variety of creatures who all teach him how to make their sound but not how to crow.

Finally Bob meets Fred, a fine looking rooster who does indeed show him how to crow. Bob can now return to the chicken coop. Too excited to sleep, he is awake when the "stranger" comes. Who is it? Will Bob be able to protect his girls? If so, how?

This book is a fun read and has an amusing ending. Very enjoyable for youngsters.

  A collectors item!  For anyone who has a sense of humor and is a chicken lover, this beautiful ceramic rooster (with whimsy) is a must for your collection.. There are all kinds from which to choose depending on your hobbies. My ranch sister now has the bedecked cowboy rooster "Western Omlet". She is thrilled. The rooster arrived in a timely fashion. It was packed very well to prevent damage to the porcelain.  I am going to continue buying these for the rest of my family. I would recommend this company and product to all those ceramic chicken collectors.
