  • Great Intro to Farm Animal Care, But Lacks Off-Grid Insights
Format: Paperback
This book is a great introduction to the basics of farm animal care! I especially enjoyed the section on different chicken breeds and egg sizes. This will definitely give me some ideas for what breeds I would like to do in the future. This book had a lot of facts and numbers. I was hoping for more information on raising animals without electricity—for example, how to keep chickens and collect eggs without a heat lamp. I also found it surprising that the book recommends refrigerating eggs, as unwashed eggs can safely be left out. I thought this book would explain more of how to care for animals in an off grid emergency. ... show more
