The Country Today (Eau Claire, WI), March 28, 2007 “No matter if
you’re a neophyte in animal ownership or a seasoned farmer with
years of experience, you’ll learn something in these ‘how-to’
books. Best of all, they are approved by the FFA, which means you
can feel good about handing them to your future farmer.”
Midwest Book Review, April 2007 “How to Raise Chickens is a
comprehensive manual for novice and experienced chicken raisers …
an all-inclusive guide, written in straightforward terms to be
accessible to readers of all backgrounds … an absolute ‘must-have’
for anyone considering the practice.”
Backyard Poultry Magazine June/July 2007 “This book is thoroughly
modern and comprehensive. It is highly recommended.”
Garden.org, Oct. 27, 2007 “Since tasting rich, flavorful
scrambled eggs fresh from an Oregon friend's flock, I hanker to
raise a few chickens myself. Christine Heinrichs' How to Raise
Chickens - Everything You Need to Know (Voyageur Press, 2007;
$19.95) is more than a primer. It's brimming with fascinating
history and anecdotes, as well as helpful details – from breed
types to caring for chicks to showing your special bird. The photos
introduced me to colorful language describing bird varieties: Naked
Necks, Ameraucana hen with muffs, Black Breasted Red bantam
rooster, large crested Silver Laced Polish pullet, and many more.
An enticement for the health conscious: eggs from free-range
chickens have considerably more vitamin E, beta carotene, omega-3
fatty acids and half the cholesterol of commercially raised eggs,
notes Heinrichs.”
ANIMAL PEOPLE, animalpeoplenews.org, Oct. 29, 2007 “The utilitarian
titles and the Future Farmers of America logo on the covers of How
To Raise Chickens, How To Raise Cattle, and How To Raise
Horses conceal and camouflage a wealth of indications inside about
how profoundly animal advocacy is beginning to influence animal
agriculture.”
Small Farm Today, July/Oct 2007 ”This is a good overall book to
encourage people to get into the chicken business … Lots of colored
charts cover history, facts and chick lore.”
