Description
Many of us dream of abandoning the rat race in favor of a more satisfying, self-sustaining existence. Our idyllic new life might even include a few chickens pecking around the garden, providing us with lovely fresh eggs. Keeping poultry, however, is not just for country dwellers, as a small garden and plenty of determination can make this dream a reality-even in the inner city. The Chicken Handbook covers everything you need to know about this satisfying and rewarding hobby, from choosing your breed and preparing your chicken house to establishing your flock and reaping the benefits of fresh produce. Illustrated throughout, this indispensable guide offers the advice you need to ensure that your birds stay happy, healthy, and thriving.
