Chicken Nibbles
This book is entertaining, informative, and very relatable. It has been written for backyard chicken-keepers past, present, and future by one who has survived that experience with all limbs still attached.
Each of the 54 high-resolution colour cartoons was drawn by award-winning cartoonist Mark Lynch, and each has an explanation, should you need it, of the finer points of the cartoon.
As Alanna Moore, author of Backyard Poultry – Naturally, put it in her review of the book, “You’re bound to have a cackle over Alan’s cartoons. You might even fall off your perch laughing!”
Warning: Some cartoons may ruffle feathers!

My Wife’s Introduction to Chook Tails
