Keeping Chickens, Getting The Best From Your Chickens, Paperback, Illustrated By Jeremy Hobson and Celia Lewis “Whether you plan to keep chickens for eggs or meat, this practical guide covers all the issues you need to consider first.” ~ Devon Life Beginning to raise chickens might seem to be allot to learn, and may stop you from this venture. But it’s not. You just need to educate yourself on the basics. Personally in learning to raise chickens myself, I found the most important thing is to protect them from predators. We used two chain link dog kennels, one with a roof for cover from rain, the other just with the chain link fence top. This book has so many different chickens, illustrated, and info on each type listed. You will also find info on feeding, and bedding, and how great they are at eating ticks, and pests in your yard or garden. A very thorough book for reference. In very good condition. Paperback 175 pages.
