Beskrivning

Tens of thousands of people in all areas of the country enjoy raising chickens, whether for food or companionship. Whether you live in the country or the city, you can, too, with this indispensable guide. Straightforward prose and dozens of clear, detailed illustrations gives any future chicken farmer the tools he needs to get started, from step-by-step instructions on building the coop to a brief background on chicken biology ("gizzard talk"); from hints on getting high-quality eggs from the hens, to methods for butchering. Full-color photographs of the birds and their landscape round out this comprehensive book. This second edition is completely revised and updated.
