Amazon.co.uk: starting with chickens

Any one of these will do. Also staying on the Vine, this is where I have got most advice and tips on chook keeping.

My 9 year old asked for Chickens for her birthday and our neighbours, who have chickens and know what they are doing!, gave her this one:

Amazon.co.uk: Keeping Pet Chickens: Johannes Paul, William Windham: Books

I think its really helpful; whilst quite a lot of the example pictures show an Eglu [and thus ideal if that is what you are planning to have] it also has pictures with other types of coup. (Please see PM too)
