It is a repository of essential information, written with palpable love for, and deep knowledge of, his subject India KnightAn illustrated compendium of common and rare breed chickens by the Sunday Times bestselling gardenerIt is my hope that this book will help you discover, or reconfirm, which chicken breeds are your favourites and encourage you to keep them yourself, or at least to remember them.Spotlighting more than fifty breeds of chicken, from the classy Ancona to the lavishly laced Wyandotte, Arthur Parkinson shares everything you need to know about each breeds attributes, behaviour, quirks and qualities alongside gorgeous illustrations of his ladies. Later in the book he offers detailed advice that will equip you with the practical skills to look after hens in your own garden, whether the most common breeds or the most perilously rare for as Arthur notes, if we dont celebrate all hens great and small, the lesserknown varieties may well disappear.Joyful and inspiring, Hen Party is a riotous, clucking poultry show of a book for anyone dreaming of the good life.
