Publisher's summary

FREE PDF INCLUDED!

Tired of relying on the supermarket when you run out of eggs? Want to raise chickens but are completely lost on where to begin? Then you need to keep reading...In the US alone, the trend of raising backyard chickens has been on the rise in the last 5 years. According to The Washington Post, an average American eats 279 eggs per year. This alone has contributed to a 50-year high in egg sales.

But there is more to a chicken than meets the eye.

These social birds make for excellent pets—they love being around humans and are great for kids as well.

Your flock also frees you from the trouble of sweeping your backyard for weeds, bugs, and pests as chickens are natural pest killers.

You may think it all seems great… but how do you even begin? It’s not like you bring chickens home one fine evening and they’ll start laying eggs for you. Don’t worry, raising chickens in your backyard is not rocket science—even you can do it!

In Raising Backyard Chickens, you will discover:

  • A beginner-friendly approach to raising chickens in your backyard
  • Practical suggestions for choosing the right rooster and hen breeds
  • Various chicken behaviours and how you can take care of your flock
  • Coop essentials—everything you need on nesting boxes, bedding materials, waterers, and feeders, right at your fingertips! (Plus, a step-by-step guide on cleaning the coop)
  • All you will ever need to know about eggs—from training your hens to egg collection strategies (and even how to boost egg production!)
  • and much more…

Raising chickens in your backyard introduces you to a new lifestyle—a sustainable way of living without having to rely on commercial produce. It is also a wholesome family activity.

So If you want a hassle-free way to raise chickens in your backyard, then you should listen to this audiobook!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent resource

This is an amazing listen for both beginners and those with some experience - I was very impressed by the breadth of knowledge covered and was surprised by how little I knew even though I’ve had chickens for almost a year now! Really enjoyable listen & easy to understand

Great for choosing breeds

I love chickens. They are just the best backyard animal. Not only are they useful by producing eggs but they are also so fun to watch! I think of mine like pets that also give me yummy food. :) I'm always interested in learning more about chickens and how to make my setup better. One of the things I've been considering a lot lately was breeds. Looking back, I wish I would have chosen a different breed to start with. But, here I am. So, this book really helped me decide which breed would be better for me moving forward.

Amazingly helpful

A great resource for a beginner trying this for the first time. I have an empty chicken coop. And now with this book I’ll be able to select the right chickens, select the right food, go egg hunting, and I learned how to protect them. The author also included pitfalls and diseases to watch for. Awesome book.

Highly informative

Let’s face it, you need healthy food to stay healthy. There is no way around it. Unfortunately most of food is highly processed and industrialized, even food with the organic label and sold at health food stories like Whole Foods. These days the only food you can trust are the food you grow or raise yourself.

That’s where this book comes in, teaching you how to raise chicken and reap the benefits of having fresh nutrient rich eggs, for the rest of your life. It’s not as hard as it seems and the book delves into all aspects of the process so you can get started with minimal effort and right away.
