I've read a few books belonging to a friend and have learnt most of what I

all-purpose chicken-keeping reference book and I wondered what others would
recommend - preferably something written from the UK point of view since our
weather conditions are so different from some other parts of the world.

I found this book most helpful

and although not written from a UK perspective it is generic enough to
apply to any climate.

Also, are there any books/authors that people would definitely _not_
recommend? You may want to email me privately to avoid the defamation case
<g>. This email does work although I don't check it very often.
