Publisher's summary

Treat your family to farm-fresh and nutritious eggs as you get started with the art of raising healthy chickens in your backyard.

Organic eggs are perfect to include in your diet to make it healthier – especially for meeting the nutritional demands of your family.

However, as good as this may sound, there is one small catch: they’re expensive.

According to Forbes, as inflation continues to make everything more expensive, the cost of a dozen eggs has nearly doubled.

Add to this the confusing quality labels that feel like marketing gimmicks rather than the actual truth, and you’ll find that these factors easily complicate your plans of eating healthy.

But there is a solution that can help you bring farm-fresh eggs to your breakfast table every morning, without having to make a trip to the supermarket.

And that involves raising your own chickens.

A great way to start a sustainable lifestyle, raising chickens has a host of benefits, even outside of getting fresh eggs.

And the best thing? You don’t have to go through every nook, cranny, or coop to get started – all the answers you seek are only a few clicks away...

  • How to house your chickens the right way – tick off the most important chicken-coop requirements as you discover how to create the perfect home for your flock
  • The art of raising healthy chickens – master the basics of food and water management as you provide the best nutrient-rich feed for your flock

From Novice to Expert

I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of knowledge packed into this audiobook. The author presents a compelling argument for the sustainable lifestyle of raising backyard chickens, particularly in the face of rising egg prices and the allure of organic, nutritious food sources. Far from being another run-of-the-mill guide, this audiobook lays out a clear, easy-to-follow plan that demystifies the process, making it accessible even to those who’ve never thought we could venture into poultry farming. The highlight for me was the detailed guide on choosing the right chicken breeds and the ingenious tips for predator-proofing the coop. It’s not just about the eggs—though, waking up to fresh eggs every morning is a nice delight —it’s about adopting a healthier, more self-sufficient way of living.
