5.0 out of 5 stars Great for dementia patients

I bought this to engage a friend with Alzheimer’s who can hardly speak. It does have beautiful pictures of exotic chickens. Some he actually laughed at. One he actually said “That’s a lot” when he saw the very long tail feathers. He was engaged and turned the pages himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for your coffee table
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014
Verified Purchase
I'm really into having entertaining books on my coffee table, and this book is hilarious. The title itself, and that ridiculous cover picture, will capture the eye of any guest sitting on your couch. The book was smaller than I anticipated (I didn't really look at the dimensions of the book before I got it) - it's tiny. It's a little bigger than the palm of your hand. But the pictures are bright and colorful and it is a very entertaining little picture book to flip through. Highly recommend!
And I guess if you're actually really into chickens, this could potentially be educational too :P

5.0 out of 5 stars Full color pictorial of exotic chickens
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012

If you raise chickens and are interested in the more exotic breeds and what they will look like when full-grown, then this would be a good addition to your poultry library. The full-color pictures are beautiful and offer an up close view into the world of unusual and beautiful show chickens. If you are looking for an educational book on raising and/or showing birds, this probably wouldn't be your best choice, but for entertainment value alone, I give it a thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A super fun book that everyone gets a kick out of
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

I got this book not because I intend to raise chickens or anything but because I was fascinated by the different varieties. A friend who raises them had this book and I had to pick it up. The photographs are great and it brings a smile to everyone that picks it up. I also bought his calendar for 2016 which is also great.

4.0 out of 5 stars These really are extraordinary chickens.

A fascinating look at the variety of chickens there are around the world. This makes a great book for anyone interested in different breeds of chickens.
My only disappointment was that it is rather small and I would have liked to see it in a slightly larger format.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Those Who Love Looking At Chickens
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
I got this book for my 11 year old son, who absolutely adores chickens. (We even have a pet backyard flock of our own who gives us hours of delight and entertainment just with their comical antics.) So if chickens are your thing, this is the perfect book for you. It shows mainly amazing photographs of these birds in a variety of settings. The only complaint I have about it was that it is not thick enough. (That's why the author wrote a sequel.) This is one book that will keep you busy admiring the beautiful birds within for a while. It is designed for people who appreciate chickens for something other than how they taste roasted on a bed of rice.

I bought this for my father as he has kept chickens in various countries. He does not have any chickens at the moment, and he was delighted with the book, and all the different varieties of chickens, which he recognised. He loves it - beautiful photographs. Only wish the size of the book was a little bigger than a pocket book. Otherwise lovely gift for chicken keepers.
