Highly Recommend!

I chose to listen to this book since I have been toying with the idea of starting my own chicken coop in hopes of producing fresh and good tasting eggs. I liked how the book is taking a humane approach and prioritizes chicken's well being. Most importantly, for the last few months, I have been reluctant to actually start due to consistent worry about potential desease chickens in my care might get. After listening to this book, I feel more confident to finally get started.
