Book Reviews of Chicken Tractor: The Permaculture Guide to Happy Hens and Healthy Soil
Book Review: An Excellent Source of Ideas
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great source of poultrykeeping ideas, containing descriptions of the different approaches taken by a large number of individuals. It sheds light on the innumerable possibilities and styles of poultry raising and how poultry can be kept synergistically with other farm or garden activities.However, the book does not provide the detailed, step-by-step instructions that novice poultrykeepers often long for. It attempts to do so in places, but not successfully.
Still, this is a must-have book for anyone interested in poultry. Other books provide the nuts-and-bolts details, yet do not present the sweeping range of possibilities that this one does.
Basically, you're going to have to buy at least two books. For the backyard poultrykeeper, it would be this book and STOREY'S GUIDE TO RAISING CHICKENS by Gail Damerow. For the small farmer, PASTURED POULTRY PROFITS by Joel Salatin is an absolute necessity. But CHICKEN TRACTOR has its own unique merits and should not be neglected.
