this was very helpful. I recommend listening to it

very knowledgeable and to the point. I recommend you listening to this book. it's worth it.

Clear and concise

Instead of reading, I listened to this book on audible. It’s a quick listen at just over an hour, yet it is packed with basic info for the beginner. I’ll definitely be referring back to it. It also comes with a set of diy coop plans to download.

great guide

I feel ready to start this new endeavor. excited to start raising companion chickens in the spring.

Love it

I love this book it help me alot because I am new at raising chickens and just started building my chicken coop and their yard for them it helped me I want chickens to pick out next time cuz I already picked out my once and also help me to understand more about them. what they need and how they are. if you are new to chickens I would recommend you to read this book it really helped me thank you

Useful Information

I learned a lot of useful information listening to this book. Except for a semi-robotic narration, I found it very helpful.

Great Beginner Tips for the new Chicken Penetrate

Great points for someone new to chickens or considering starting a chicken family. Recommended read.

Insightful!

If you're at all interested in raising chickens, this is a must-have. It would have helped tremendously a decade ago when I helped a friend with his hobby farm. Save yourself some woe!

Plus, the narration of Angel Clark is a huge bonus!

Wonderful!

Great info.! Perfect for beginners. Covers everything needed, to have chickens- from practical coop building, to chicken personalities and breed info. Nice reader, as well!

For someone who has done no prior research...

Positives: Quick and pleasurable listen. Basic information you will need if your just considering backyard chickens. Low cost buy. Useful tips.
Cons: I found the information a little too basic. True it does say for beginners and that I am but I have done a little research, read several articles and asked a few friends about their experiences so there wasn't much in this that was new info to me. If you are just starting to consider chickens then I'm sure it will be a good introduction for you and get you started on deeper research but honestly most of this information can be found for free in magazine or online articles. *wouldn't use a credit on it.

optional

not a bad very basic book to break you into Back yard chickens but very basic
