Excellent
This has been an exceptionally accommodating book for somebody who will begin raising chickens! It covers things that you probably won't have pondered when beginning. We are about a year out from having them since we can't kick that off this spring however I anticipate it like never before now!

Everything she has recommended, from her easy-peel hard-boiled eggs to her heated cookie tin waterer, has worked perfectly, and that kind of honesty has meaning for me.
