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. 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.

This audible is more helpful than it looked, at first blush. To be honest, donks are simple to take care of and I was a sensitive new owner. Whatever real subjects I've required returned have been here in this book.

I would suggest this audible for donkey enthusiasts-whether they be beginners with donkeys or experienced. Not many people know donkeys--and Dion Rosser has taken the time to ask professional donkey trainers the key aspects to how they train and work with donkeys to be successful. Great information, stories, and knowledge in this book!
