I have found different ways to "scratch my itch". My "itch" is a desire to learn about chickens, ducks and other poultry. I read factual books, reference guides, Poultry magazines, and blogs.
I have joined several small farm groups through Yahoo. There is a poultry group where I am living, a self-sufficiency group, egg group, and pastured poultry group. All of these send me group emails which can be fun to read. Some are very informative regarding things going on in the world of government. The benefit of being a part of groups is that you learn things from other people's experiences as well as from what they have read or heard.
I also like poultry blogs. One that I receive regular emails from is put out by Polyface Farms. http://polyfacehenhouse.com/. If this or another subject is something you are interested in, Google groups or blogs and you might find what you are looking for. Also, there are often references in the back of your favorite books that can give you ideas of what to Google. Another way I have found blogs is to Google images of a particular breed or group of poultry. I have found some great ones on ducks that way because the images often have a web page or related blog attached to it.
