Very Informative and Beautiful!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
Surprisingly informative for a pocket sized book. With plenty of beautiful detailed pictures. It was well worth the money spent on it!
Extraordinary is absolutely correct!

If you have any interest in beautiful birds of any species, I suspect you will like this book. The photography is of the highest quality and Mr. Green-Armytage has a wonderful way of presenting the birds as special characters, not just standard poses. He has done a wonderful job of selecting a wide variety of lovely chickens from both British and American poultry shows. There is just enough text to whet one's interest in the breeds. Unfortunately, the index only has page numbers for the photos. Descriptions of the birds need to be hunted up on your own. But you bought it for the photos of lovely, strange and cute/funny birds.
bock bock beautiful, wierd and wonderful

This book is 112 pages of fantastic photos portraying poultry, exotic and domestic,in the most grandios fashion. You'll never look at a chicken the same way again! (excepy,maybe,if your'e having mashed potatos and gravy) Incredulous crests! Striking split combs! Magnificent beards,muffs,whiskers! Exciting and unusual feather patterns and colors are included in this wonderful collection. You will also enjoy the infusion of interesting information about the assorted breeds.
More than Extraordinary, it is brilliant!

The book teaches, it enlightens and it delights. The photographs are truly extraordinary and not just for the aficionado of rare poultry. The entire book is simply a feast for the eye and with very useful text. A perfect gift for the chicken lover in your life.
If you thought chickens all look alike-think again!

I recently picked up a copy of Extraordinary Chickens & was delighted with both the photo layout & the treatment of the subject. The author (who some may remember from the photo article on chickens in Life magazine in the early 1980s)consulted with chicken experts & exhibitors around the world to produce this feast for the eye - a wonderful collection of the bizarre & the beautiful - most people will be astonished at the variety of colors, shapes, & sizes available in the world of the pure-bred exhibition chicken.
