How to Raise Chickens in your own Backyard: DIY Chicken Coop Plan - How to Breed and Raise Quality Poultry in a Small Space
Have you ever wanted to know how to raise chickens on your own? Are you curious as to how to keep a flock of backyard chickens? I wrote my book, How to Raise Chickens in your own Backyard, all about chicken care and raising backyard poultry for healthy meat and eggs to provide for your family. I believe in the philosophy of natural chicken keeping. My book even comes with TWO free coop plans for you to use to build the perfect chicken house for your hens.
In this book, we will be looking at the best ways to get into chicken rearing and how to prepare the best chicken coop for your backyard project. Having grown up on a ranch, I gathered a lot of information about chicken rearing in my lifetime. Coincidentally, I married a wife who happens to be a farmer, too. In the past ten years, we have been focusing on small scale poultry farming to fulfill our passions and feed our family. We also hold local classes teaching people how to start their own backyard chicken flock.
Chicken eggs and meat that you grow yourself is much healthier and can even be cheaper over time than buying mass-produced commercial chicken meat and eggs. You can control the environment of the chickens when you raise them yourself. You can ensure that the chickens are raised naturally, organically, free-range, or however you choose. With the rising price of poultry and growing demand for eggs, this can even be a lucrative venture, if you choose to sell your products.
This book has conclusively provided solutions to three key areas of backyard chicken rearing. It starts by providing background information on backyard farming. We help you understand the principles of backyard chicken raising and the benefits. We have outlined the benefits and negatives of keeping chickens in your backyard for your consideration. We also look at a step by step process of constructing practical backyard coops. We will take a look at two plans for chicken coops.

Informative
Very informative in all aspects of chicken rearing. No pdf though but otherwise a definite manual to keep on hand even after reading.
