Starting with Chickens

How often have you thought that it would be nice to have a few chickens in the garden?

Their needs are modest and they give a lot of pleasure and interest in return, not to mention the bonus of new laid eggs!

This book provides invaluable help, from choosing a house and run to selecting, buying and caring for hens. It covers feeding, breeding and seasonal management, as well as dealing with problems should they occur.

Written in a clear and concise way, it is an ideal introduction to keeping chickens.
