I feel like I am a chicken expert after listening to this, even though I've never handled one lol! Thanks to this book, I think I can now look at ill chickens without fear. I’m very excited to start raising them, feeding them, and harvesting their organic eggs. I like the idea that this is not only beneficial for our health but it can also be a potential side income. It feels like I could go ahead and start a chicken farm right now. I told my parents about it and they are both excited to spend their retirement with the chicken.

Fantastic guide!

More and more people are getting backyard chickens; my family has been no different. We decided that we wanted to be able to raise our own chickens for eggs. I can't quite bring myself to raise them for meat but that is the goal eventually. The book is pretty well organized, and I feel like it covered all of my questions. 2 big concerns for me were choosing the right chickens and ensuring I had the appropriate housing for them so that they would be productive. Chapter 6 was interesting as it was not something I really thought about which is the pecking order. I knew it was a real thing but I didn't know how I would deal with it if it happened or prevent it from happening if I could. The chapter covered many details that should help me mitigate territorial disputes.

Overall, it is a really good book with great details that people who are newer to backyard chickens should find a lot of use for. Country Chickens vs Backyard Chickens brings its own unique rules and design, so this is a good book to make sure you are set up for success.

Great beginner information
