This book is a must have for backyard chicken keeping. It gave me all the necessary basics that I needed to know. Yet the valuable and practical information is presented in an entertaining way that is quite rare to find. I had some great insights. How to use the nanny method to incubate chicks, for example. And how to deal with avian influenza. Great book!

If only I had this book when I first started out!

When I first started raising chickens, I knew next to nothing about chickens. I read a few books, but they were quite dry, and didn't answer a lot of my questions. Stuff like how to choose the right chicken breed, deal with predators, and how to keep them healthy. Oh, if only I had had this book back then! Rhea Margrave does a wonderful job at covering the basics of raising chickens, leaving you feeling ready to raise your own flock. I’m so glad I found this audiobook.

Good place to start for raising chickens

This is a great place to start if you want to raise your own flock of birds. The author doesn’t just lecture. Instead, I felt she informed me based upon examples of what has worked for her. Yet, most of this book was geared towards helping a fellow chicken owner manage their flock.

What fun!

An aspiring chicken keeper here! I believe both newbies and people who have been keepin chicken for several years will still benefit from this audiobook. I get to listen to it while driving and continue it during supper. It’s fun listening to it and made me more excited to finish my study and build my own chicken coop!

Gotten a great deal of tips for that 1 hr. and 12 min. of listening to Rhea Margrave. It’s obvious that she’s an expert in this field. The book has been thorough from the advantages of keeping chickens in the backyard to handling city laws.

Nice book

I started my diet program with my instructor and I’ve been consuming many eggs per day as per his advice. I’m starting to like it since I’ve seen little but significant results. So I decided to build my own chicken coop and be guaranteed with safe-to-eat and nutritious eggs. As I listened to this comprehensive audiobook, I thought it’s easier than I thought it would be!
