Tired of relying on the supermarket when you run out of eggs? Want to raise chickens but are completely lost on where to begin? Then you need to keep reading...In the US alone, the trend of raising backyard chickens has been on the rise in the last 5 years. According to The Washington Post, an average American eats 279 eggs per year. This alone has contributed to a 50-year high in egg sales.

But there is more to a chicken than meets the eye.

These social birds make for excellent pets—they love being around humans and are great for kids as well.

Your flock also frees you from the trouble of sweeping your backyard for weeds, bugs, and pests as chickens are natural pest killers.

You may think it all seems great… but how do you even begin? It’s not like you bring chickens home one fine evening and they’ll start laying eggs for you. Don’t worry, raising chickens in your backyard is not rocket science—even you can do it!

In Raising Backyard Chickens, you will discover:

  • A beginner-friendly approach to raising chickens in your backyard
  • Practical suggestions for choosing the right rooster and hen breeds
  • Various chicken behaviours and how you can take care of your flock
  • Coop essentials—everything you need on nesting boxes, bedding materials, waterers, and feeders, right at your fingertips! (Plus, a step-by-step guide on cleaning the coop)
  • All you will ever need to know about eggs—from training your hens to egg collection strategies (and even how to boost egg production!)
  • and much more…

Raising chickens in your backyard introduces you to a new lifestyle—a sustainable way of living without having to rely on commercial produce. It is also a wholesome family activity.

So If you want a hassle-free way to raise chickens in your backyard, then you should listen to this audiobook!
