Your practical, beginner-friendly guide to enjoying a sustainable lifestyle by raising chickens in your own backyard!
Tired of relying on the supermarket every time you run out of eggs?
Do you want to raise chickens of your own but are completely lost on where to begin?
Do you want to not only raise chickens, but also get access to farm-fresh eggs right from your backyard without spending a fortune?
In the US alone, the trend of raising backyard chickens has been on the rise in the last 5 years.
According to The Washington Post, an average American eats 279 eggs per year. This alone has contributed to a 50-year high in egg sales.
However, horrified by what goes on in commercial production, many Americans are moving towards raising backyard chickens for a healthy source of eggs and poultry.
But there is more to a chicken than meets the eye.
These social birds make for excellent pets—they love being around humans and are great for kids as well.
Your flock also frees you from the trouble of sweeping your backyard for weeds, bugs, and pests as chickens are natural pest killers.
The best part? You can sell the surplus eggs at your local market. This makes raising chickens a cheap and lucrative craft.
You may think it all seems great… but how do you even begin? It’s not like you bring chickens home one fine evening and they’ll start laying eggs for you.
Don’t worry, raising chickens in your backyard is not rocket science—even you can do it!
In Raising Backyard Chickens, you will discover:
- A beginner-friendly approach to raising chickens in your backyard
- Practical suggestions for choosing the right rooster and hen breeds
- Various chicken behaviours and how you can take care of your flock
- A complete guide to setting up a backyard chicken enclosure—build your own from scratch or buy one, we’ve got you covered
- Coop essentials—everything you need on nesting boxes, bedding materials, waterers, and feeders, right at your fingertips! (Plus, a step-by-step guide on cleaning the coop)
- All you will ever need to know about eggs—from training your hens to egg collection strategies (and even how to boost egg production!)
- The definitive guide to raising chicks—build your own brooder and raise healthy chicks
- Nourishment plans and diets for your flock—give your chickens nutritious food at various stages of development
And much more.
Raising chickens in your backyard introduces you to a new lifestyle—a sustainable way of living without having to rely on commercial produce. It is also a wholesome family activity.
As the old saying goes: opportunities, like eggs, come one at a time.
