It s the coffee-table book guaranteed to get your guests talking, whether clucking over the remarkable imagery or ruffling feathers with poultry observations.

Revue de presse :

The ultimate in poultry portraiture, this collection of photographs by Andrew Perris shows 40 of the world's most famous breeds in all their primped, preened and prize-winning perfection... There is nothing fowl about this egg-cellent introduction to our feathered friends. --Daily Express

Experience gleaned in advertising photography lends Andrew Perris's portraits of champion chicken breeds a studied poise and superficial sheen that lifts them out of the world of the nugget and (almost) on to the catwalk. --Time Out

The photographs in the book are fantastic and the poetic descriptions, eloquently written by a poultry expert are instructive and repay careful reading... I used my strongest magnifying glass to scrutinise the beautiful birds illustrated in this beautiful book. It has been an honour and a pleasure to review it. --The Spectator - Deborah Devonshire
