So very interesting!

We recently moved into a neighborhood where chickens are allowed. We have joked for years about raising them and now the rubber meets the road. This book was an awesome introduction to the whole process and has us quite excited. Wish there was a bit more about different breeds of chickens but this gets us started, would also have liked a PDF copy. Several families a few blocks away have chickens, we visited with them recently and think they too will be a great source of knowledge on this new journey. Thanks for a great book and giving us a solid foundation.
