Publisher's summary
Achieve self-sufficient egg and meat production with this complete crash course.
Keeping hens in your backyard is a rewarding hobby for a variety of reasons. The eggs are a delectable temptation, they are tastier and more fresh than any eggs that can be purchased in a supermarket, and they are also superior for use in baking. Toss the shells and the chicken manure straight into the compost pile. There is no need to separate them. The birds amuse themselves for the better part of the day by eating grass, worms, beetles, and other tasty things that are necessary for the production of those delicious farm eggs. In addition to this, chickens are wonderful friends for gardeners because they have a keen eye for bug infestations.
Even though keeping chickens may sound like a delightful hobby, the majority of individuals who are interested in beginning their own flock simply do not know how to get started.
Here is what this excellent guide will offer you:
- Things to consider before getting chickens: find out why raising chickens in your backyard is the best option for you.
- Choosing the right chicken breeds: discover the easiest way to plan which type of coop is best for you, where to put it, and how many chickens to have.
- How to build a chicken coop: find out everything you need to know about coops, from the supplies you'll need to the bedding and extras you'll want, or where to buy one if you're not the building type.
- Collecting, cleaning, and storing chicken eggs: we answer all these questions and more in our article on how to collect, clean, store, and hatch chicken eggs!
Discover how raising your own chickens can be a fun and profitable endeavor!

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

I heart chickens!
I never knew there was so much to know about raising a chicken. I just like to eat them normally! But I will say the work I to healthy chickens is quite tiresome. even from listening to this book. I don't know if I could ever do it but I still enjoy the tastiness of them. I am curious do different breads of chicken taste differenly?!?

Great Book for People Like Me
Admittedly, I had no clue where to start and what to do when it comes to developing a coop and raising chickens. This book gives you a step-by-step plan to get started and why you should do what you need to do. When it comes to coops for example, the author explains why you need a coop and why wood coops make sense. Even the benefit of having wheels on your coop.
I never really knew much about nesting boxes either, for example. For someone like me, this book gave me what I needed to get started raising chickens and how to get eggs from your chickens. There's not a lot of fluff in this audiobook, every word seems essential to your success. Well done.

FANTASTIC guide for beginners!
Excellent book to obtain an insight of what keeping chickens involves. It doesn't cover all the nuances of keeping chickens because there are too many to cover in one book, but it does offer you a general idea of what you should know so you may subsequently conduct your own in-depth research. I adore this book and the way it was written. highly suggestible!

I got this audiobook to help me set up my coop, purchase some baby chicks, and proper care. I felt this book went well beyond the basics and I appreciated that. The information was easy to follow, although I am a visual learner.
