It’s that time of year and this year I finally decided to try to pull the trigger on doing some chickens in mt yard.

  • A must-read for anyone curious about raising chickens!
Format: Kindle
"Raising Chickens for Beginners" was a game-changer for me. As someone with no prior experience, I found this guide incredibly helpful and informative. It covers everything from selecting the right breeds to setting up a coop and caring for my hens. I love how so many different kinds of chickens were described, and the explanation of the pecking order was particularly insightful. I appreciated the clear step-by step process to get everything set up. Now, I’m getting ready to enjoy fresh eggs and a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The price of eggs has become so ridiculous, it makes me want to do this even more. This book is a must-read for anyone curious about starting their own chicken-raising adventure! ... show more

  • Excellent Guide for the Chicken Novice
Format: Kindle
This book was packed with a bunch of really useful information for beginners wanting to own their own chickens. My best friend has had her own coop with several breeds for over a decade and it’s always intrigued me so it was helpful to understand the process a bit more. Lots involved! However, I really appreciated how the author broke all of these details down in an easy to follow way. This may be something to explore more in the future and I have a much better idea now of what to expect if we do purchase our own livestock. ... show more

  • Not bad, but better for true beginners
Format: Kindle
Having grown up raising chickens in a small Texas town, I decided to check out this book to see if it would be a good fit for my nephews, who are just getting started. It covers all the basics, from setting up a simple coop to keeping hens healthy and safe from predators. What the book does well is break down each step so it isn’t overwhelming, even going so far as to share ways you can save money, which I appreciate. That said, the advice sometimes feels a little too basic if you already have some experience. There are more detailed and hands-on guides if you’re looking to really fine-tune your flock or get into more advanced care. I did like the bonus gardening planner that came with it, but I probably won’t be reaching for this every time I have a chicken question. For absolute beginners, it’s a pretty decent starting point, but if you grew up with chickens or have spent a season or two raising them, you might want something with more depth. ... show more

I bought this book mostly out of curiosity. With egg prices what they are, I just wanted to investigate the possibility of raising chickens. This book has absolutely everything you need to know to have a successful happy flock of chickens...from which type of chicken is best for where you live to the right coop, proper feed, disease prevention, and how to keep you and the chickens safe and happy. I probably won't get into raising chickens right now, but this book will be my bible if I ever want to! ... show more
