Königswinter 2020, SC., 80 pages, numerous colour photographs. Keeping hens is trendy again. However, many people, especially those living in urban areas, have too little space to keep chickens in a species appropriate manner. For them, dwarf breeds (bantams) represent an excellent alternative, with a rooster and three to five hens being the ideal constellation. Many hobby poultry keepers do not consider their birds as a source of eggs and meat but true family members. The advantage of miniature breeds over full-sized varieties is that they are fairly calm, do not easily get angry and often become very tame. If you devote a lot of time to them, they become fully trustworthy and can even be petted. This book describes their housing requirements (coop, green areas, inventory), anatomy, morphology, physiology, general care and maintenance, feeding and nutrition, as well as the legislation of raising chickens. In German.
