Publisher's Summary

Avoid the common mistakes that could kill your chickens before they even lay an egg.

Do you want to raise healthy and happy chickens that give you the best, organic, free-range eggs?

Are you done supporting factory farming, barren battery cages, and chicken abuse?

Do you want to protect your family from consuming antibiotics and other hormones in their food?

Here’s a little secret for you: The goal is easy to accomplish. In fact, chickens are some of the best animals for beginners because they’re low maintenance, friendly, and quite resilient.

Just imagine waking up in the morning, going over to the coop, and being greeted by the clucks of your flock. You reach into the laying nest to collect the eggs that are so fresh that they’re still warm. You then go ahead to cook the most delicious omelet you’ve ever had.

Backyard eggs are much more nutritionally wholesome than the store-bought ones. The same applies to the meat of the chickens you raise, if you decide to go that way. While this all sounds like a dream come true, there are still many questions that need to get answered before your perfect little flock comes into existence.

What’s the perfect laying breed? What kinds of chickens should you raise for meat? In fact, can you have one chicken for both?

How can you construct an ideal coop that will make your chickens comfortable, sheltered, and happy?

How do you make sure that your chickens are healthy day in and day out?

You need to know all of these essentials before getting started.

Raising backyard chickens doesn’t need to be complex or expensive if you educate yourself up front and avoid the common, yet fatal beginner mistakes.

In Chicken Raising, you will discover:

  • The 10 eye-opening reasons why you should start raising your own chickens 
  • The differences between a Leghorn and an Orpington, as well as other spectacular laying and broiler breeds
  • Step-by-step guidance on building a chicken coop from scratch, even if you have never used a drill before 
  • The four silly mistakes that will kill your chicken coop project right from the start 
  • The best strategies to optimize the nutritional content of your organic, free-range eggs 
  • Indispensable tools and supplies needed to raise happy chickens 
  • Foods, supplements, and delicious treats your chickens will love 
  • An easy way to set a daily routine that will give you an optimal egg yield 
  • Safe egg- and meat-handling guidelines to eliminate the risk of bacterial contamination altogether
  • And a lot more...

You don’t need a ton of space, and you don’t need a ton of experience to start working on sustainable food production and your independence from major corporate chains. Raising chickens is such a scalable activity anyone can try!

Just get a chicken or two, and when you feel comfortable, you can quickly increase the size of the flock. You will love it, your kids will love it, and soon, you’ll get so hooked that you’ll consider starting to raise other kinds of animals, as well.

Delicious, homegrown, and home-raised food isn’t out of your reach. Scroll up and click the “buy now” button if you want to select the right chickens for your backyard flock and raise them in the best possible way.
