Do you want to raise chickens but don’t know how to start? Well, if you say yes then this book is right for you!

This “Beginner’s Guide to Raising Chickens” will be your friend along the way. Chickens are actually domesticated animals and are currently one of the most common domesticated 'farm animals' in the world.

The use of chickens in food production grew and eventually matured into what we know of it today. Chicken is one of the most common meats in the world, mainly due to its availability and low cost. Practically all parts of the chicken can be used in food, and the meat itself can be cooked in several different ways. Most people, however, choose to raise chickens for their eggs. Chicken eggs can be easily cultivated right from your backyard. Hens typically don't need a male to produce their eggs, only to fertilize them. So, that means you can have several egg-laying hens in your backyard to produce fresh chicken eggs.

Home raised chicken eggs are one of the healthiest choices available. Eggs from chickens raised commercially, known as battery raised, have high rates of salmonella and can be harmful over the long-term. By having control over the chicken’s diet and egg production, you are able to get eggs that are much more beneficial to you and your health.

Covers everything you would need and want to know

When I finished this book I had absolutely no questions left. This covers everything from the anatomy of the chicken, how to tell female from male, what they eat, health and care from day to day all the way to yearly needs, where you can find chickens/chicks to buy, and so much more! I really liked the detailed information and steps on how to make 2 different chicken houses and the pictures included and at the end includes some egg recipes that all sounded delicious and easy to follow. Very impressed in how helpful this book was in showing me all the pros and cons to raising chickens.

Appreciative

I have also toyed with the idea of raising chickens. I live in a two family home in the city. Not exactly the most ideal place to raise a chicken, but also not completely out of the question or illegal. Got this book on sale and read what I needed to do to prepare and raise chickens if and when I ever decide to go down that route. Really appreciate the information provided here.

Which type of chicken is easiest to raise?

This book gives you practical information on how to start raising chickens successfully. The book lists the breeds of chickens, had a photo of each breed, and discusses the needs of each one. There is a section on hatching and raising chicks . Fresh eggs are the reward of raising chickens and this book also has recipes for cooking with eggs. Excellent book.

Needs some Editing

This book contains a lot of great information, but it could use some editing. It’s almost like it was translated from another language, or whoever wrote it learned English as a second language. The info it does offer would be helpful for those who want to get backyard chickens.
