So thorough and empowering!

Honestly, for a long time, I kind of had this idea that owning chickens meant this huge leap into a whole other identity altogether. One I wasn't prepared to embrace. I had to be a "farmer" I thought. Lots of land, with a life and job centered around it.

"Not so!" ~ says Hennington, and this book! You can start with a little backyard! I loved the accessibility of this book, and how it really holds you by the hand to take the little steps ... which turn into bigger steps ... and have your first chicken coop! It addresses all you'd need to think about ... What chickens to get, depending on your desired outcome. How to troubleshoot health issues. Even understanding how they communicate!

If you've dreamt even a little bit about getting chickens, get this!! It will make you feel like you can do it (because you can!) and give you the tools to carry out your chicken destiny.

What might make this book different, though, is that it touches on just about everything you need to know and will answer a lot of those questions you have about getting chickens, providing information in a simple, down-to-earth manner. From identifying the common health issues to the ways to avoid predators, Claire Hennington covers it all. This book will give you all the information you need for your feathery flock.
