Now, keeping chickens is one of the fastest growing hobbies across Europe, with the UK seeing the biggest revival since the Second World War.
An estimated 700,000 people nationwide opt to keep hens in their back garden.
Housing a chicken can work out as little as 3p to 5p a day – or £14 per year. This is minimal compared to the price of eggs, which has risen by up to 40 per cent since 2010.
The new book tells how there are more than 180 varieties of domestic hens available.
Flick through the pages and learn how to select a healthy bird and how to choose the most suitable coop and protect against predators.
Readers can learn how to deal with behaviour problems. There is also a glossary of key phrases and terminology.
Published by Kyle Books, the publication costs £14.99 and is available through local bookshops.
