Publisher's summary
Transform your backyard into a chicken paradise… with a healthy flock and a bounty of fresh eggs.
With 2020 lockdowns, more people than ever in recent history ran out to get their very own flock of backyard chickens.
Quickly, millions realized the simple joys of having these wonderful feathered pets, and animal lovers around the globe rejoiced at the increasing popularity of their favorite birds.
But with an increase in novice owners… comes an increase in issues with caring for these birds.
If you’ve had some trouble with keeping your chickens happy and safe as a novice owner, don’t fret.
Chickens are very vulnerable creatures, and the majority of them live outdoors – so it’s not uncommon for even seasoned chicken keepers to make mistakes when protecting their flock from predators and infectious diseases.
It can be discouraging to run into problems with your chickens’ health and behavior, and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to wake up to find your flock suddenly smaller than it was the night before.
If you’ve been kept awake at night fearing the worst for your feathered friends, you’re in the right place.
This one-of-a-kind guide to chicken rearing lays out all of the most common ailments and mistakes that can lead to life-threatening consequences for your chickens. When you discover how to remedy and avoid these mistakes, you’ll be well prepared for any chicken-related issue that comes your way.
Inside this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover:
- 13 essential tips for building a fortress of a coop that even the most prolific of predators can’t penetrate
- Why some new chicken keepers have birds that won’t lay eggs – and what you can do to avoid this pesky problem altogether
- How your backyard flock can thrive in even in the harshest and most unforgiving of climates
- The 7 most common severe illnesses that plague chickens… and how to keep these diseases well away from your flock
- Everything it takes to successfully hatch and raise a healthy and happy group of newborn chicks
- 5 of the most common behavior problems in chickens – and how you can quickly curb them if they occur
- What mistakes can lead to fatal consequences when raising a group of newborn chicks… and strategies for avoiding them altogether
And much more!
Believe it or not, implementing changes to protect the health of your chickens is simple and low-cost – and many of the supplies you’ll need to acquire, you can find and repurpose from your own home.
Owning a flock of backyard chickens is a lot less complicated than it may seem. If our ancestors could raise and keep chickens without electricity or running water, so can you! All you need is the essential knowledge needed for raising a healthy flock… and that’s exactly what you’re about to discover.
So what are you waiting for? Start making the necessary changes to improve the health and happiness of your chickens today. If you want to improve the health of your flock and avoid making mistakes with your backyard chickens, then scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now!

Cluck, Cluck Chronicles!
In this comprehensive audiobook, Macomb Farms shares invaluable secrets for successfully raising backyard chickens. I enjoyed the cover and layout of the topics. The main themes revolve around poultry care, predator protection, and egg production. We had friends build a netting system above their coupe from a pesky family of hawks near them, the predator protection section definitely peaked my interest. My favorite aspect is the author's emphasis on holistic care, promoting the well-being of both chickens and their keepers. Clearly the author has experience, this was an enjoyable listen.
