Hen Party

Arthur Parkinson

An illustrated compendium of common and rare breed chickens by the Sunday Times bestselling gardener. Discover, or reconfirm, which chicken breeds are your favourites with this celebration of hens. 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 breed's attributes, behaviour, quirks and qualities alongside gorgeous illustrations of his 'ladies'. He also offers detailed advice on the practical skills to look after hens in your own garden, whether the most common breeds or the most perilously rare. As Arthur notes, if we don't celebrate all hens great and small, the lesser-known 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.
