The ABA has secured the rights to republish Ralph Sturgeon’s book, Start Where You Are With What You Have.

It is only $10.  This is the booklet that Mike, Michael, I and others have quoted from and recommended many times over the years.  It doesn't mention Amerucana chickens, but it is an outline for a common sense, practical approach to breeding, without getting deep into genetics.

Two thumbs way, waaay up for this little gem of a booklet! 8) $10 is a steal a deal I must say.

Mine finally came yesterday. This book is so good! It makes me want to go back and redo my breeding so  did this year. I have so many good ideas for the next season of hatches now!
