There is one by John & Cara Harrison called 'Backgarden chickens'
and another by Eirlys Goode about ex battery hens called 'Starting from Scratch'
Both very good.

They Haynes chicken manual is also very good and I liked "The Urban Hen: A Practical guide to keeping poultry in a Town or City." - think they're both on Amazon )t'

Another vote from me for the Haynes Chicken Manual, I lent mine to a chicken pal and she then bought a copy for herself and 2 copies for her friends
