Raising Chickens: The beginners guide to care, feed and facilitate to raise healthy chickens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539908418)

If you have ever contemplated the idea of getting involved in chicken farming, then this is the book that is going to make a huge difference. From guiding you through the process of setting up your own coop, to choosing the correct breeds, how to care for them and so much more, this guide will allow you to turn the chicken farming concept into something concrete. It used to be believed that this was only something that was done in the countryside, but that is no longer the case. Instead, individuals even in cities are making full use of small spare pieces of ground in their own back yard and converting them into their own small chicken farm. You will learn more about the space that you need and everything to do with getting those eggs to hatch and even how they are produced in the first place. The art of successful chicken farming does not involve some family secrets being passed down the generations. It is also no longer the domain of those individuals with vast yards or fields where the hens or chickens can roam free. Instead, anybody can be in a position to have their own chickens even if you are in the middle of suburbia. Throughout the course of this book, you are going to be surprised at just how little specialist knowledge you require in order to be a success . You will learn that it does not take as much as you thought to get started and that is often the huge advantage of chicken farming that is generally overlooked. Also, it was often felt that chicken farming was a difficult thing to do, but that is simply not true. Furthermore, there is no need for you to spend a considerable sum of money with chickens costing as little as $5 and if you have some basic DIY skills, then building the coop also does not have to break the bank either. In other words, this is a hobby or pastime that is not only fun and exciting with an excellent payload thanks to that flock of chickens, but you need next to nothing in order to get yourself launched. With bullet points for each chapter that recaps the main issues covered in the preceding pages, you will be able to gather together a snapshot of the most important things that you really should get to know when it comes to looking after your own chickens at home. Indeed, even after reading the entire book, you know that you are able to just go back to those key points making it easier for you to then recall the information contained within that chapter. In addition, you will be able to take advantage of an extensive chapter dedicated entirely to the various diseases and health issues that you really must look out for. Also, you will be taught some basic home remedies that could make a difference but, at the same time, also made aware of those moments where getting a vet involved is the only possible conclusion that you can reach. Looking after the welfare of your flock will always be your primary concern, so being armed with the key information that makes this so much easier for you will always be welcomed. Throughout the the book, you will see that there is nothing to be afraid of and that chicken farming can be an enthralling hobby and that does not even include the constant supply of eggs that you will be able to get. This is a book for absolute beginners . Those individuals that have, up until this point, never dared to take that step forward and actually put their chicken farming plans into action.
