Then you’ve come to the right place!

Doing anything for the first time can be intimidating - and the stakes are even higher when your new hobby involves being responsible for something that’s, well, alive.

What’s more, the increasing popularity of self-sustainability practices has led to a plethora of information being available online, much of it completely unreliable and sometimes straight out dangerous.

Under his guidance, raising chickens will not only become uncomplicated, but also a complete joy.

You’ll soon find yourself developing a rapport with these delightful birds, and you’ll be amazed at how raising them will transform your life.

Spending time with them after work will help you immediately relax and refocus on what truly matters in life.

And if you have young kids, you’ll marvel at the beautiful relationships they’ll develop with their feathered friends - and at how much they will learn from them.

In Raising Chickens for Beginners, here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover:

  • Five-plus scenarios you absolutely need to prepare yourself for - and how
  • A list of all the precautions you need to take before you embark on your exciting adventure, including the laws you need to consider
  • How to prepare for your flock’s arrival, and which breeds are best for beginners
  • How to choose the perfect feed for your flock, and how to tell how much you need to feed them and when
  • Common chicken health problems you need to be aware of, including signs, causes, homemade treatments, and advice on when to seek veterinary help
  • Why eggs sometimes...disappear - and what you can do about it
  • Everything you need to know to stay on top of litter management, including how to maintain a coop that’s nasty-smell free
  • How timing your egg collection can literally make or break your eggs
  • Tips to keep your chickens warm in the winter and cool in the summer
  • Six reasons why hens may not lay eggs - and what you can do to help them

And much more!

Rasing chickens made easy

I've been interested in raising chickens for a long time and have researched many books on the subject. This book is the most complete resource that I've come across. It includes a free ebook which is helpful as a visual reference. There are so many tips that I had to listen to multiple times to absorb all of the information. The audiobook goes into depth on different kinds of chickens and selects roosters for the most significant yield. The practical tips include building a roost, keeping the temperature consistent, and many other situations I had not thought of. This is well worth your time and money. You will not go wrong if you want to raise chickens and do not know where to start getting this audiobook.

This is a must have audiobook

I learned so much about how to raise my own chickens! I have 2 so far, and it has been a process of getting them not to smell, which helped me so much. Now their coop isn't smelly, and they are much healthier and happier.
